“We keep insisting upon the type of players we want,’’ Jackson said at his season-ending press conference. “Behind the scenes, and the group that we have — Steve Mills, Jamie Matthews [basketball operations director], Kristian Petesic [director of scouting] and the people in our scouting — I think we know what we want, and we are interested in developing and turning away from just, say: This guy can jump out of the gym, this guy can do a triple-double game or dunk the ball. That is not what we are interested in. We are interested in skill players that know how to play together in team form.”
Jackson, however, added the lottery selection could “take three or four years … to develop.’’

we all know that Phil likes big guards and Frank is 6'5 with a 7'1 wingspan...plus he plays the 1 or as an off-ball SG for SIG so he's versatile, then on top of that he projects to be a pretty good defender as well

What do you guys think of Wesley Iwundu from Kansas St? He is a long player who is a good passer, defender, and solid rebounder for the SF position. He could improve as a shooter, but is a good slasher on the offensive end and solid in transition.
I think he would be a solid option if we were able to acquire a pick in the 20's. We would have some long defenders who are all pretty dang young if we went with Frank in the 1st and picked Iwundu.
Frank, Iwundu, Holiday (if we bring him back), and KP would be a long, young core of players who all can play defense

All this Frank talk is just a smoke screen. We are doing this to see if other teams bite and take him before us, causing DSJ, Monk or Fox to slip to No 8.

Then I wanna hear this fan base call him the next Klay Thompson.

All that losing for this? Plz no. There better be a trade down.
