Frank is a glober? You sure?

A "Glober"? That is brilliant. Hahaha. I'm a Glober. I admit it.

Frank is like, a GIANT Allen Iverson. Or Akeem with elite point guard skills.

Grant Hill + George Hill = Frank Ntilikina.

He plays nothing like Kyrie. He's just talking about his readiness for the league

Sessions is talking specifically about Frank's handling in tight spaces and ability to finish at the rim.

Overall Play-style is still completely different. That's tough to argue with.

Yeah, I took it as looking at the fact Kyrie didn't need blow by speed or to jump over anybody to get into the lane and be effective. Frank obviously doesn't handle the rock like Kyrie, but being able to get into the heart of the defense and deliver is something that he could accomplish without blow-bys or leaping over anybody partially thanks to IQ and partially thanks to that height and absurd wingspan that'll let him release the ball above defenders without the 50 inch vert.

I'm curious to see if he has enough athleticism as a package. You don't need more than enough really.

Frank also doesn't need to jump very high with those long ass arms. Takes a lot less effort for him to dunk then somebody like DSJR

wtf really ?

franks long arms are a little overrated here.

I'm not arguing. I'm just saying what Sessions was specifically referring to. It wasn't his general readiness for the league. It was those skills.

I think Frank has a pretty solid understanding of positioning, and how to use his body on both ends, which can be more effective than raw athleticism.

considering how good DSjr looks, Frank must pan out

Combine that with how his head is pretty much always on a swivel and he usually sets himself up with more than one option to handle a situation. Making the right choice can be a work in progress for the kid, but offensive awareness and positioning are definitely two strengths I foresee.

No he doesnt. People need to read full articles instead of going with the media who takes quotes and hype them up (no offense). When you read the article he's clearly saying he is skilled with the ball however he's not that athletic. Like Kyrie Irving.

I mean...this is just common sense though. If somebody is taller with longer arms, they dont need to jump as high as somebody 4 inchees shorter to dunk a basketball.
