This is what pissing people off about Frank stans. Frank is no lockdown one on one defender unless we're talking a bum like Tray Young. He's good at aspects of defense, even elite as some but, anyone with a bit of quickness will dust Frank just like the last game.
Not only is it accepted by the overwhelming majority of NBA pundits that Frank is a good to great defender, but the metrics back it up as well:
P&R ball handler - .649 PPP - 90th percentile
Isolation - .703 PPP - 86th percentile
Hand off - .784 PPP - 72nd percentile
Post up - .450 PPP - 98th percentile
It’s not being a Stan when you want to see your team play the guy they selected in the lottery.
It’s not being a Stan when you question why your lottery pick is losing minutes to guys who won’t be here the following year, all in an effort to chase LHF.
It’s not being a Stan when you question why a team that is rebuilding will choose to barely play their lottery pick with their franchise cornerstone.
Making excuses for someone, who is so putrid on defense that they are unable to be on the floor in crunch time, is being a Stan. Especially when that someone isn’t a part of the long term future of this franchise.
That’s what you did last year for Kanter.
If I want to know how to overinflate the value of rebounds that are gathered b/c of a total lack of deterrence, I’ll come to you.
But my comment was about defense. Given who you Stan, maybe you should sit this one out.
People are you forgetting this is a 19-20 year kid ... who already is elite defensely ... give him some time .... just to mention some players break out late ... Kyle Lowry was a late pick bounced here and there and look at him now ...
What side of this argument did you think I was on?
