Re: "Merci, GOAT" Frank's Players tribune!
Great read. He seems like a good kid - happy for him and his family.
Him, KP, Willy and THJr. are going to make this season (which will most likely be a losing season) enjoyable to watch. It's really easy to root for these four... Not only are we building something on the court but off the court, they all seem like good people, making it easier for me to root for their success.

Frank da GAWD has spoken. Seems like such a nice innocent kid. He'll have his growing pains but I'm sure he'll be a really useful player for us. Thought he was one of the safest picks in the draft and knowing he's a good kid who really loves the game puts my mind at ease.

Re: "Merci, GOAT" Frank's Players tribune!
That was an amazing read! How he explains his journey and how much work he and his family puts in is an respectable trait.
Even adding in some click bait into the article was a nice touch lol.

Frank is gonna outwork all the picks who were chosen ahead of him. None of those players come from the same background as he does.

Compare & contrast the entitled background the Ball bros are coming from to Frank's family and background.

I was not a fan of the pick, but he might have just won me over. Great head on his shoulders, great values, hard working...

And then Michael Jordan walks in.
The GOAT.
He’s right there.
I’m like….
Can I curse in Players’ Tribune?
I’m like, Oh s***. MJ.
It’s funny but my first thought was, Oh my God. He changed.

I'm not gonna sit here and act like I was a day 1'er with Frank. To be Frank (I'll show myself out later) I wasn't a fan of the pick, wanted Dennis, but more and more this kid is winning me over. Everything he's said and the way he behaves makes me hopeful, now I just want him to back his work ethic up on the court and show us some flashes. Not demanding ROY at all, but show me flashes of potential and I'll ride w you as if you were my own fam.

Even if this kid looks like nothing in his first year, I'll still believe. He is a worker. Workers become winners.
