Thank you - I thought there was actually some hate there. Very glad to see that's not the case. I actually like Jeff Goodman a lot, and I would've been pretty bummed (and slightly alarmed) if they had any overt problems with each other.

Side note: Can we actually give Frank a proper thread title? This whole "flat out boring" thing is childish and silly at this point.

Liked what I saw in his debut. Very versatile on offense. He can hit the three, put it on the floor, pass, and post as well.

He moves kind of like Pau Gasol. Without peeking I'd guess their height/weight are similar.

Good debut, but he wasn't defended all that well. From coach speak he is definitely starting with Al, Batum, MKG, and Kemba. Al better have lost 30 pounds and gained IQ on the defensive side of the ball this offseason for that to work.

I agree I think Frank and Zeller is a decent combination. Also we aren't missing much without Vonleh.

It will be very interesting to see what is the better combination over the next five years, Batum + Kaminsky or Vonleh + Winslow. Have to get Batum to resign for it to be even up for debate.

Yeah, I wonder if Turner and Kaminsky will be better than Towns and Okafor. I also have my eyes on Wood as a big man in this draft

Watching the summer league game replay. My initial impression of Frank is that I really like his ball skills and I actually don't want him to put on much weight. I think he should try to maximize his agility and speed and not worry as much about banging down low. He has the length and intelligence to make up for lack of strength and hes never going to be a bruiser anyways.

Frank earned a new title today. All past grievances are forgiven. Welcome to the team. I look forward to seeing this guy mix his high bball IQ with our team. God knows we need it.

I knew he could shoot it, but he REALLY stroked it today. That was impressive

Don't make me remember that. Jeff Taylor was the leader of the team as a go-to scorer

He put up 16/9 and everyone blew up about it his first year. Until these guys are really defended we need to stay calm. I think Frank is a fine player and will be good compared to other rookies. My issue has been that he is a short term look and will steadily fall down the list, IMO, as the seasons go on.
