Hes a very nice, good boy. But he better toughen up real quick and learn that being supportive e and not competetive is gonna get him canned. I'm a fan but there comes a point where your fans cant want it more than you do.

Is Frank's defense better than Knox's offense?

That **** injury..

Frank seemed he was really comfortable those last couple of games when Manu was out. First foul trouble, and then injury.. And now DSJ is on the team, so he gonna be pushed back.

Ok, so why are most posters on here ready to give up on Frank but still think Knox has so much potential?

Cause they value offense over defense.

Not coincidentally, these are the same people going nuts over DSJ.

I’ll take Franky over Knox thank you very much.

I’m a DSJ fan too. Got the guy I wanted.
Now we gotta go get MPJr.

I am shook to see even people who have ripped Frank constantly, supporting and rooting for him after they got their guy in DSJ. I am really excited for them to be on the court together. Compliment each other perfectly but they both need to improve their jumper

Fizdale never really gave Frank his shot. Fixdale had Frank on a short leash while Mudiay got all the love. I still believe in Frank but I'm not gonna keep banging the drum for him. The Knicks should give him a legitimate shot and then Frank has to do his part like start hitting his open 3s and to stop curling up into a turtle position when things aren't going his way. Hopefully we see movement on both sides.

Man I am a little worried about the tank if dsjr plays like this. fiz started putting Frank on the best players like harden, Paul George and westbrook and he was playing them really good. Frank slowing down the other teams best player and dsjr going off could result in some wins.

And Frank pick and roll defense is technically the best in the league when he has a shotblocker behind him. now he will have two with deandre and mitch.

So long as we remain in the bottom 4, we each get a 14% chance, right?
