Yes, Frank needs to play better. I never said he is free of blame. I just would like to see him play and play well. For some reason that gets people all fired up just to say something so simple as that.
The "earn" minutes and accountability from last season was BS. Some players pretty much had free reign to do whatever they wanted (cough, cough Timmy) or not play defense or hog the ball. Others had short leashes. We also wasted a lot of time on players like Mudiay and Burke. Frank played like crap, but we also did not put him in good positions. I think we should have def given Frank a little more rope last year and did a better job. Most of the blame is on Frank, but some young players need more guidance/development then others.
He got pulled because he wasnt being a threat. He didnt even try to do what fiz wanted. Look he avg 2 rebounds a game at his length and height, doesnt that say something about his agression?
I am a frank supporter, but no more baby gloves. Its year 3, he knows what he has to do. We all do. Do it in practice, then do it in games.

I think that could be a reason for Franks struggles. Fiz wants Frank to play a certain way, but that might not be his game and his strength. Maybe in the end it will help Frank, but its a huge learning curve for him. He may never be able to be the type of player that Fiz wants. The offense pretty much looked like trash with the way Fiz wanted to play with a basically free for all from the guards so im not a fan of that way with or without Frank.
Even still, Frank looked bad in almost any role last year and needs to step up and play better. I think everyone agrees with that.
The games frank was actually a threar, fiz praised him. Fiz knows frank wont be steph curry, but he has to be agressive.
Was he pusing the ball extra hard to get easy baskets? Did he crash the offensive glass? No, he needs to be more assertive.
