Can't wait for the following:

Frank learns he can hit the bunny jumper all day over smaller guards (in about 30 more games)
Frank gets stronger and learns to post up

He doesn't have the elite passing skills and court vision of rondo. At least not yet. If he ever develops anything close to that we're talking about a future hall of famer

That will never happen. Meat just pointed out Frank will just get slower as he gets stronger. Makes perfect sense.

Isn't that the one thing players never really develop? I think his vision is pretty good already. I guess passing could come up a little.

I think he'll always be the solid but not spectacular sort of PG - even when he's performing at a much higher level than now on offense.

Because everyone is bio-mechanically the same, what works for 1 clearly is going to work for all.

Yes, making a comparison to another basketball player with a similar build is clearly worse than pulling the info from nowhere like you did

You're acting as if Frank will put on muscle like he's bodybuilding, and not like he's a professional athlete gearing his muscle gain towards performance in his profession.

If you were involved in the same sport and league as michael phelps maybe it would be worth consideration

Lean muscle doesn't make you slower
