I never wanted frank, wanted monk or smith jr. With that said I hope he can be part of our future. I think our coaches has hurt his progress. I think he has good court vision and elite defense. Let the kid play and let him him find his way .

I always hoped the team would try to develop him in a draymond green type of role.

off season videos are dumb as hell and heavily edited to not show the bad footage.

seems like these kids workout for the likes on social media than actually putting in the work and having the numbers tell the story.
LOL Y U MAD THO?

Glad to see Frank working on taking a bunch of long two's. I'm sure that will help him get into the rotation.

Any reason why he is training in Texas? The shooting video the other day on the Texas Legends court. Does he have any connections there?

was wondering the same thing; he used to work out with Chris Brickley at lifetime in NY; guessing he wanted to switch trainers after 2 disappointing seasons

I'm still rooting for the kid. He has to show a lot more on offense though. It wouldn't hurt to define a role for the kid either. I'm still waiting to see him and DSJ play together.

I'm out of the FA frenzy. I don't see it happening or being worth it. Kawhi is the only player worthy at this point. Stay the course and build through the draft. Maybe take a chance on a young player or 2. I would be all over taking a look at what the Bucks are offering to take Snell/Ilyasova off their hands. Develop the kids and build a worthy foundation for FAs to consider in a couple years. The team isn't ready for max players and only 1 is worth a max deal.

While y'all keep talking about how Frank body looks I'm just over here waiting for actual games to be played so I can see how his guard skills look.

I'am the only one who thinks Frank has the most UPSIDE on any of the Knicks players except for Mitch Rob (of course) or should I pinched myself rn?

You might not be the only one

But that's a pretty bad take. I'm a big Frank guy, but I'd put his upside as below Mitch, Knox, and DSJ, plus way below RJ if we draft him Thursday

Yeah....I still fux wit Frank but...I need to see a lot more offensively. He's been league worst on that side of the ball.

Other posters already told stuff about NOW than UPSIDE.

But you are obviously completely right. The *upside* on both Frank and Mitch is crazily better than any of the other Kicks players. For the draftee ... we will see, depending on who it is, ofc.
