We should play him a lot of minutes next to RJ, DSJ, even Payton and Trier so he wouldn't have to run the offense himself. Find good balance with the lineups....I mean we will still probably not be great no matter what, but balancing the lineups would probably give us our best results.

I think Frank would be key in that with his versatility, IF he can continue to play like FIBA Frank.

He's gotta show he can handle it. He was our starting wing last year and sucked. Theres more talent this year so he could fit better but still needs to show it

True, he does need to play better and show he can handle it. He sucked at wing, but maybe thats not his best position? I would have him defend the other teams best G or PG since that is what he does best. And give him a role on offense where he gets a few touches and moves around....kinda like what France did.

If he could play off the ball it would be great. He was pretty useless at it last season. Having him out there with any if our other pgs would require him to do that again.

I'm looking forward to RJ and Knox combo. Those two should compliment each other really well once they build that chemistry

He looks like a beast, completely different physically from last season. Hope it translates on the court. If he can learn to take better shots and get his 3p% up, he could be a very nice surprise.

Kudos to all the players for coming into camp in shape. That is not normally the case.

Fiz just said randle will be playing a lot of point forward and we know RJ can distribute too. If we were asking frank to run the offense like Steve Nash. I would 100% get your point. But that doesn’t seem to be what we want out of our PG anyway.

sounds like Fiz stole some sets from team France. Which is probably the best thing I've heard all offseason.

Watch on YouTube

I've given Fiz enough grief, but I really like hearing him in interviews. I'd really like for the reality of their approach to catch up to what he talks; maybe it's that it's a process etc. But he seems like a genuinely nice guy, plus I like what he says about basketball. I think some of the level of disappointment for people comes in what was seen as the disparity, as what he says sounds great. But again, tank year, young team, so lets see.

Hoping for the best. Would be nice to have Fiz stay and grow with the youth.

That French guy made that up. Those aren’t the real heights. They’re heights from last year.

Proof that they are not the measurements from this year?

I never understood the Fizdale bashing. It's impossible to do much when you have the worst roster in the league and are tanking. I think this season will be a little bit more fair in terms of us judging his coaching ability. The biggest thing for me is how he distributes minutes, how he handles losing and if he's able to get the team to buy in and improve as the season goes on. Cause there will be losing streaks. It's not a very talented roster but it has potential. Coaching will play a big role in how good or bad we'll be.

Hell no! DSJ with his broken jumper over Frank? Ludicrous.

Switching around the starting lineup for Frank? I've never heard of building a team around its worst offensive player.
