i don't know if that's exactly a ringing endorsement

Word.

But look at young Frank's jumper, pretty as fk.

Watch on YouTube

Frank has the cleanest shooting mechanics of the three PGs.

If they would only go into the basket.

This dsjr thing has me distraught rn.

I was banking on him making that oladipo leap this year, but with the way his jumper is looking rn the only leap he'll be making is overseas to the Shanghai sharks.

This is really disappointing.

I tried to tell you all that his shot still sucked. Bad habits are hard to break especially when you've been doing it your entire career. He was always so much more athletic than everyone else that the issue wasn't exposed like it is now. I would like to raise his trade value though. Hopefully, Fixdale can put him in the right situations to maximize his talent.

[iLLmatic860]

He said it himself that he was experimenting lol. Im pretty sure we have enough front court depth now for Fiz not to do that.

I wouldnt mind Frank at the 2 or 3 tho.

You don't experiement with some busch league ish like that if you believe in the guy. You don't experiment with Wade at PF, Duncan at PG, Kobe at C, etc. You let the rest of the team fall around wherever that guys natural position is. Looking at last years roster, it was terrible. If Ntilikina was not played at the PG position then, he never will be.

One of these is not like the other

We've seen Frank at PG also and he didn't look good there either. I think there were a few factors that led to him being switched around

1. He never established a clear position for himself
2. Our depth last year sucked
3. We were tanking so we could afford to shuffle things around

Exactly why is this so hard to grasp

If Frank actually shows up he will get more of an opportunity lol

Not to mention he missed 40’games due to injury

Lets see if Fiz sticks with this you gotta earn your mins thing

Also Frank does not have to play PG lol. Hes big enough to play the 2 or 3 as well. As long as he hits that 3 consistently like he did in Fiba he can thrive as a wing or point foward

Zing!

It appears that they're starting to. Frank's body is much stronger now and he looks much more aggressive. Increased confidence from FIBA. Hopefully, Fizzle doesn't tear it down.

He scored 8 Pts/per and shot 33% from the WNBA 3. He won’t “thrive” with those numbers

I don’t think Frank needs to worry about Fiz. Guys like Morris probably won’t protect Frank the way Lance did. He’s gonna either grow up or shrink this season.

Frank shooting the 3 in actual nba games is like watching shaq shooting free throws

His 3P% might be better than our PG's this season.
Unfortunately also his FT% might be better than Elfrid and Dennis this season.

[stuporman]

Apparently 'unrealistic fluff' isn't all he does because here's an example to disprove that. So being straight about the fact that sometimes shooters have bad games or stretches is telling what? Honest? Yea, we can't have that.

Fizdale: 'Dennis is no Mudiay who can carry an offense but Junior can play 15 solid minutes.'

Let the Negativity begin!

Bro, what he's saying is that Frank is starting and DSJ is backing him up, that's all.

You better not be speaking for me friend, I don't need any bs interpreter, I speak my own bs.

[SelbyCobra]

[HarthorneWingo]

Fizdale wants to full court press. That means Frank is going to get solid minutes

[aq_ua]

Not a fan of those happy go lucky shots, and I have no idea who some of those Knicks players are. No. 3, guy with ball on head, who are you?

man, dsj needs to attack the basket and be a good defender because that jumpshot is broken.

[blueNorange]

I dont get it man in the workout vids over the summer it looked so smooth.

Im baffled rn.

whenever i self tape, i record myself many times and choose the best one of the bunch.

jesus.

you're seeing this melo ? i hate it had to be you.

**** not even am i that grim.

i think it's just more dsj is a backup than a starter.

likewise someone with an agenda can record the worst of the bunch.
