My dream backcourt rotation is RJ and Frank. Tall, defensive and multifaceted backcourt with a mix of
DSJ and Trier to explode on offense.

Any combination of the 4 and I'm good.

It was always there. He needs to go up strong every time



It was always a matter of confidence. The mechanics were always pretty good.

Exactly, you don't have any expectations for Frank and have bashed him pretty hard, thus you're not really the person here to counsel Frank's supporters on how to manage their reactions when he plays well.



I wish he would STFU

Keep it professional man there no reason to use curse words at me , if you don't like my take or anybody else take keep it moving .

Frank might be French but he's currently a Knick, so that's where my allegiance lie. Besides, we sent out our B Team so Team USA deserved to lose.

He also shot it with a lot of confidence and a little bit of swagger after. He just needs to keep that shot up and ride the wave into the season.

Frank still looks awkward on many layups, also in this game. Can't overlook this.

that is only right.

americas best players dont care, so why would the fans care.

i just hope franky can be the solid 3 and D guy for a good team. maybe like a danny green type of guy. thats all i ever wanted from frank and he can definately be that one day.

idk if the knicks wait for that to happen, but i see him developing into that player at some poing.. could take another 2 to 3 years he still young
im bout dat action boss

This was like a playoff game, and Frank hit possibly the two biggest shots in his country's history.


It were important shots but there’s no need to exaggerate things. France has had many more important wins that this QF. Nobody was afraid of this years USA.

He’s probably always going to look a little awkward. I think if he can be effective and fairly efficient he will be fine.

That’s no exaggeration. You watch the video I posted above. You might learn something.

Man, France has won medals in WC and Olympics. QF win against very modest USA is for sure not the biggest thing in their history.

Some people are saying not to over exaggerate or get ahead of ourselves, since it's one game. Part of me feels that way.

However, it just seems one of those thing in life where things finally *click*.

Frank's biggest issues were always lack of confidence, motivation, and hunger. It was like he was overthinking all the time and making things overly complicated. If things finally turn around, this game will be the defining moment of where things finally *clicked* for him. That is why Frank fans are excited.

I'm still skeptical though. With all the rentals we got this offseason, there still isn't enough minutes for Frank. I don't think Pills and Fiz will ever be high on Frank. And there's still development to be done, which isn't Fiz's strong suit.
