Aside from that first quarter against Philadelphia he’s looked pretty bad

That dunk and step over vs Milwaukee probably showed that killer instinct Fiz is looking for :lol: :banghead:

It'd be a great microcosm considering those were his only two points of that game. :lol:

Set the tone and truly changed the game. On top of that he brought his patented Mario defense, so how could you not want him starting :lol:

We need one more Frank DNP to ensure the L against the Nets.

Fiz wants a shooter's mentality. The results don't really seem to matter.

Apparently as long as you chuck em' up, Fiz will give you credit for defense.



Except when Frank starts 0 for 3. Then it's straight to the bench for the rest of the game.

Isn’t the MLE around 9.8 mil?

I thought these 2nd round picks on two year deals who got extended got the full MLE IE Richardson/ Powell.


Knicks wouldn't have the full MLE - it'd be the room exception.


Thx for the clarification.

I still remember all of us thinking we got LFT on a steal because we got him for the MLE due to EBR

Aside from that first quarter against Philadelphia he’s looked pretty bad

Mario has been pretty awful in efficiency but his potential is very solid

hes very fast and athletic for his size, has a pretty solid handle, has excellent passing instincts and is supposed to be a solid shooter

his defense hasn't been bad either, though inconsistent

now his turnovers and missed shots have made his game look pretty terrible but i see a lot of potential there

id like to continue to play him and see if he can figure things out
we have nothing to lose

no upside for Lee playing though

Im sure Frank just has to not play like a bitch and he’ll be fine. Plenty of players on the roster start the game 0-3. He just needs to be aggressive and look for his shot and others and he’ll be just fine.

Just about every player has played like a bitch, and didn't get benched.

The problem with our team is that all of our ball handlers look for their shot first. Coach seems to want Frank to do this as well.

Yes I’m sure Frank’s the only player that’s been DNP’d this season. It was so bizarre because he was playing SO well. I’m sure Fiz has something personally against Frank and that’s why his leash is shorter than other players. There obviously can’t be any other reason.
