Frank highlight. Same age as SGA in you college highlight track. He is making shots, passing well, driving, finishing through contact....

Yea idk what you’re watching

I don't know why you are still arguing. It doesn't make much sense. Both had similar draft profiles and were projected and picked in the same range.

Not saying that Frank should be an MVP, but there is a universe where Frank plays with CP3 or is coached by a developmental guy and is much better than he is. There is also a universe where SGA is drafted by a dysfunctional franchise trying to hang on to an ageing chucking superstar and being a lesser version of what he is today.

At the end of the day this is a lot of what-ifs, but our back and forth is kinda pointless because you are living in the present and taking full advantage of hindsight. My argument was about height, wingspan, end to end speed, jump and reach etc. Both were lauded for defensive chops and questioned on the offensive side of the ball.

You’re the only one dying on this hill. They only have similar physical attributes. Offensively, SGA was miles and miles ahead of Frank in college than Frank was in Europe. Worst case scenario, SGA would be a fro gr all star with awful coaching and development. Frank never got better the moment he left the Knicks so it was never a coaching problem with him, it was his talent.

I wasn’t that high on SGA in college cause I wasn’t sure about his jumper translating, but I said this about him in 2018. I said it back then he was already ahead of Frank even in Kentucky.

im watchin sga's highlights from last night

he look like the player we all want frank to be...


So I’m not sure why you’re arguing about them being similar.

I wanted Frank to be a 3 level scoring threat that Shai was showing off in those highlights which obviously was never Frank’s game ever.

He never developed. As a result of nature and nurture, it never happened for him. But we all had those hopes.

Best case scenario for Frank was a high level 3 and D guy. He just never had the bag, handles, mentality to be a scorer like SGA.

Franks stats aren’t even that bad, wasn’t he decent at 3s and can play D? Not good enough for an end of bench spot?

just looking at it, he shot 48% from 3 his last year here but low volume because he was barely getting minutes, every other year he was 32% or below for us so pretty bad.

i think his defense was really good at times but also inconsistent at times too. definitely above average defense as a whole, but if he wasn't going to contribute anything on offense, he needed to be elite as a defender and he wasn't quite there

For sure I thought dude would be Jrue Holiday for a good year.

The only Frank related **** I was "right" about was just our bonehead orc coach was playing Elfrid PAyton starter minutes and he was absolutely the worst point guard in the league, and probably the worst starting player. So we should have just played Frank starter minutes. If he continued to suck we get a higher pick, if he could only learn from playing -- great.

I'd rather just play a random point guard from Reis Park than Elfrid Payton.

Playing for the greatest basketball coach of all time (Željko Obradovič) and averaging 7 ppg.
