Pretty sure Frank is gone after this season. He is your prototypical journeyman player who is always able to find a spot on a roster but not a very high ceiling. He would need a dirkesque shooting season this year to change my mind.

There is a decent chance Frank won't be in the NBA in 2019-2020. I just don't see how he becomes an above-average player, he's grown on me a bit but he just doesn't have a future that I can see the way the game is evolving.

Don't understand that take, I think the only way he's in the league at all is because of the way the league has evolved. If he can consistently shoot threes at 38% and with his passing ability, there is definitely a place for him in the league on any team.

I think the main problem is he can't guard anyone. Guys like Ryan Anderson are barely even playable now, and Ryno shoots a much higher percentage than Frank. Maybe Borrego can unlock something in his game, I'd love to be wrong because we need one of Frank or Willy to emerge this year to be competitive.

He's 100% an NBA player now. Yes he sucks defensively, and that will probably always keep him from being starter level, but as long as he can score, he has a place in the league. I have no doubts about that. If he never improves over what he is right now, he's a 15-18 minute guy on about 2/3 of the teams in the NBA.

Yeah he's a guy who knows he can not work on his game at all and still make tens of millions of dollars anyway. Seems like he just plays ball because it pays well. Doesn't really care otherwise.

If I was coach I’d play him 0 minutes per game. He has zero desire, can’t play defense, and can’t rebound. If WHJ develops a 3 he’d be 10x better than Frank. Something like Vuevic but with a better 3 would be nice.

It certainly looked like Frank mailed it in and didn’t show much effort at all on the defensive end this past season. With Coach Clifford he prolly knew he’d play regardless since the rotations were preset and there wasn’t a PF listed on the roster behind him.

It'd be awesome if he wasn't constantly played out of position but these things happen when your coach is Steve Clifford

Well, the dude has a sense of humor anyway. Still think he can be a good player but the window is closing if he doesn't ball out with Borrego as coach

Well if all else doesn't work him and Willy can at least be bodybuilders.
