I guess they were wrong about Frank because he also has been made to be a combo guard and even a freakin forward thanks to the genius of fizdale. They played him mostly off ball since day one of his arrival. Even if we had taken Donovan we'd still be needing to draft a PG. The worst part though, is that we ended up going out and getting DSJ who is actually a true PG... and he sucks too.
Frank sucks as a PG though that's why they tried to move him to other positions to find his strengths. Fizdale wasn't wrong, I mean there was an article about Frank not long ago and some scout or GM (cant remember who it was) was saying they also thought Frank is better suited as a wing player off the bench. Frank was given his opportunities at PG and he's not it, that's why we are still looking for one right now.
As far as us needing a PG if we took Michell, I don't know about that. Mitchell has done just fine as a primary ball handler in Utah, especially when Conley was missing games. We wouldn't need a PG, just a secondary ball handler and preferably a catch and shoot guard. Mitchell has done fine playing with all types of guards, whether it was Rubio or Jordan Clarkson, he can thrive.
Frank hasn't been good as a wing player either because he hasn't been able to make shots so he really gives you nothing on offense and you can't have that from a wing player. Imo he's been better suited at PG utilized as he was in FIBA and he was playing PG for us to end this season as well. I see him more as a backup caliber PG who can also play situational spot minutes off ball for defense when needed. He isn't a starting caliber PG and that's why we still need one
Well the whole point of sliding him to the wing was to see if he can find a starting role, since even you say he's not starting caliber. Off the bench he can play either the 2 or 3, it doesn't matter, it all depends on who is out there with him.
