I don't plan on watching the whole game, but Frank did many good things in the span of the past five minutes

Frank dropped a three immediately after missing a two on the same possession. Showed he's ready to pull the trigger

"Frank played defense."

"Frank didn't turn the ball over. "

"Frank needs to learn to score."

"Frank hi fived a teammate that scored."

"Frank just walked. Left foot first, then right."

"The Knicks just need to hire a French coach and focus things on what can improve Frank, nothing else. NBA Championship coming!"

"What an investment, just used incorrectly. PATIENCE!!"

There ya go. A play-by-play and a plea for rewarding potential not likely reached in one post.

Useless is a pretty ridiculous term to use when he pretty much is the only good perimeter defender on the team. And if you noticed teams that defend well usually are pretty successful in the NBA.

It takes a bit more than 5 guys on the court all trying to score. A lot more to basketball than that.


Sorry I wasn't clear. I meant useless on the team because I don't see him getting the play time he needs or ,even a full opportunity to even show improvement. If we didn't have so many guards and forwards I'd think he might see time at those spots but, not with the currently stacked roster.

I'd love to see him in a structured environment like SA or even the Clips

Frank called his own number for a layup and +1 at the end of the game. He also lobbed to Labia a few minutes earlier.

For those that care. Small steps.

Imo I think Frank will be most useful at sg or sf and should be given opportunity to run the offense at certain points throughout the game.

I just dont know why people are so ready to give up on him when he has showed he can defend superstar players and give them a hard time. The fact that he had a growth spurt and is 6’8 now makes him even more valuable imo.
