Frank is meshing well with ALL groups, but the TEAM is killing it when he's playing with KP (and the rest of the first group). What the ****, Jeff?

There goes my prediction of 1/2 as being his first starting game. Pushing it back to All Star Break. :-?

Jeff has been using Frank in a 2 PG line up with Jack

This is his definition of extra minutes

Someone needs to breakdown the metrics of when Frank is playing with KP and the 1st group and then tweet it to Begley and/or Hornacek.

Hold these ninjas accountable.

Yeah - there are reasons I would allow but that was just a hot mess of an explanation. Basically "**** the data, I'm the coach."

On a losing team with 2 hasbeens in Jack and Sessions, who haven't played well, there is no excuse for Ntilikina not starting and playing big minutes. He's already shown he can defend and run a simple pick and roll and he has good rapport with KP. Let the kid start! Jack is awful!!

It's been long enough frank has eased into the season. Start him and play him 36min a game.

Frank is wasting all those drives if he is not even going to shoot the ball. After he got in the lane and tried to pass it to one of our 3-point shooters the pass got picked off because defenders know he doesn't want to shoot. clyde actually showed some emotion and was like "ntilikina is too unselfish, he has to shoot the ball" I think clyde is invested in this kids development, he did say he reminds him of himself and he would like to show him some things.

Out of the 2017 draft class; Who would you trade Frank for? For me, maybe Tatum and Mitchell, that's it!

1. Donovan Mitchell
2. Jayson Tatum
3. Lonzo Ball
4. Lauri Markkanen
5. Kyle Kuzma
6. Frank Ntilikina
7. OG Anunoby
8. Dennis Smith jr

Not saying i would take Markkanen or Kuzma over Frank, but they have been better so far, but Frank's ceiling is much higher.
I really like OG Anunoby, we could really use a guy like that.

Do these guys realize Frank is 19 and already better than some of those guys?!

He's not the 3rd best player in the Draft! Stop being a homer! Ntilikina has talent and maybe someday he'll be decent but he hasn't shown enough to say he's the 3rd best player of his class.

Maybe not now, but he's got a higher ceiling than just about everyone. He's already shown that his defense is legit, and if he puts together his offensive game, he's gonna be a future All Star. We could be looking at a young pg version of Kawhi Leonard. I wouldn't trade that for just about anything.

Well, I think that most fan bases like to root for their own guy. "Tatum is the new <--> T-Mac", "Mitchell <--> Kobe", "Markkanen <--> Dirk", "Lonzo <--> Kidd" etc. I personally wan't to see if Frank can reach his potential which is sky high, and not trade him for almost anyone. Is he the 3rd best player in the draft right now? I don't think so. Top3 prospect? Not sure, I want to see and wait.

And then we are going to trade for a mediocre PG in the offseason and have them start with Jack getting backup mins and Frank racking up dnps like Willy is.

Really wish this organization was smart enough to realize we need more time to build this roster up. We need to trade our vets and develop the future.

Season is basically halfway over and Frank can barely get 20 mins in games he’s actually playing well in.

Just know this franchise is going to be the same **** year after year. Firing Phil could prove to be a big mistake. If only he would have stfu about the damn triangle. He’s good as a Gm if he only stuck to roster management and stayed off Twitter.

On a team fairly desperate for PF play, KP, who was drafted #4, managed to get 28 mpg.

I mean, 8 minutes is a lot more than the 20 Frank is averaging, but it isn't THAT much more.

That said, Frank should get getting 9 more minutes per game the rest of the way so he winds up averaging about 24 mpg his first year
