France with an all-around disgusting first half, offensively. Can't really be put on Frank, but he hasn't stood out either. His defense on Patty Mills was solid.

France came back from a 15 point deficit to win the game and the bronze medal. Frank was not much of a factor in this although he had some nice bench celebrations. 16 mins: 2 pts (1-7 shooting) 4 reb 2 ast 1 to. -16

The stats look fine for the most part. It’s really important he shoot the 3 better though.

To the people who think frank wasn't given a fair chance , he was but its important to remember he is a 3-5 year project , he's working on his body while getting reps , he's put on about 50 lbs the last 3 or so years gained 2 inches in height

he's a project

despite the short leash he's still avg. over 20 minutes a game, he hasn't earned a starting spot and that is fair back up minutes

player a
20.7 minutes 5.9 pts 1.9 rebounds 2.8 assists .325 fg% .276 3pt % .363% 2pt% .763 ft%

player b
21.0 minutes 5.7 pts 2.0 rebounds 2.8 assists .337 fg% .287 3pt% .371 2pt% .767 ft%

player A is andrew harrison the back up point guard on the 2016-17 memphis grizzlies (coach david fizdale)

anyone want to guess who player b is?

So...his numbers are better. That's a good sign. I noticed better handles...more aggressive in offense...bigger build. Still has to show up on an NBA court and execute better. I'm just looking for improvement over the course of the year. Not blown away by his numbers or his play but...he is showing signs of improvement and...his defense has been good. Not sure how he gets minutes but...I'm still a fan.

Who will win the battle for most minutes on the Knicks bench this upcoming season?
Inquiring Knick fans minds want to know.

Alan Hahn, MSG shill.

You know the team doesn't want him. Their propaganda arm has spoken.

I’m projecting him to be a Nate McMillan type of player, so this is about what I expected out of him. Knicks need to use the Gleague to keep him sharp during the season.

Does anyone dispute that he didn't get a fair chance? Fizdale never liked him. I don't think that it's unfair to question Fizdale's evaluation of talent. Marc Gasol, who was just a winner, clashed with him immensely. I think that Fizdale is more enamored with tempo and 3's. It's literally all he cares about. I don't know if he can wrap his head around a guy who doesn't immediately fit within his mold. I see someone that's extremely biased.

Frank is a net positive player and a jumpshot away from being our best player. I don't love his lack of aggressiveness but I don't think that Fiz has done a damn thing to help it. He just wrote him off and attempted to play him at PF. This kid only has 2 years in the league.

Frank played 21 minutes a game. There's no conspiracy against him. He was just awful and then got injured for half the season. Kawhi and Manu got the same number of minutes when they started too.

Kawhi and Manu? You have got to be kidding me with that asinine post. I don't even know where to start.

Both Kawhi and Manu entered into winning cultures, with great players around them, a great coach and consistent success. The regime that drafted Ntilikina was shaken up only days after picking him and the organization has seen a ton of turnover.

Second, you're now comparing Ntilikina to two Hall of Famers. Manu was 25 when he first stepped foot on to a NBA court. Kawhi was a full year older than Ntilikina as a rookie. Kawhi also did not have to endure a full-on change in culture, language, etc.

Lastly, neither play the PG position...

The comparison just doesn't make sense.

The point is there are many great players that didn't get 30 minutes a game in their rookie years. Fiz and Jeff are not doing anything out of the ordinary with Frank who has been on par with Jerian Grant so far.

I just want Frank to have this type of energy. If he did I’ll easily start him at the 2 and have him go up against the better opposing guard.

Taj has been on some dumb shyt for TWO YEARS. Not even worth discussing Frank with him.

I been the most objective on frank i don't overrate him like lot of people on this board do.
