Yeah, but he didn't even participate in the dunk contest...he sucks.

I think most of us assumed Frank would be a bit of a project coming in. Youngest player in the draft, think/lanky body. Year 1 was never meant to be his measuring stick, but that defense is already way ahead of the curve.
He doesn't have to be Donovan Mitchell for me to be happy with the pick. I'll take Ntilikina as part of Knicks lore. Kudos rook!

Would have been happy with the layup contest!
Thats a great stat. I hope coach Bud gets to work with Frank. Help round out his game, while not neglecting D.
fishmike@ 4/27/2018 2:11 PM
He's a great prospect. They really did their HW.
I was a fan after the draft when Evil sent me a link to watch that final Strausburg game. I have no doubt he ends being one of the top 3-4 players in this draft. Just stay healthy

triangle point guard. He sucks
We should have picked DSJ
defense is overrated in modern nba

True. The good part is that he at least finishes when he is at the rim. The tools are there. He just needs to be more aggressive. He also shot nearly 38% from the corner three. Didn't realize that. I think his offense will be fine.

Why do you keep crying about Mills when most of his time here wasnt even a basketball job, it was on the business side.
fishmike@ 4/27/2018 2:53 PM
Some folks have criticized his offense... Lets talk about how Frank's offense looked at the end of the season.
This is how he finished his NBA season playing 22mpg and with 78 games under his belt.
He's already proven to be clutch and fearless in big moments when the games count. He's already a great NBA defender. Once the game started slowing down a bit look at how he uses his length to get off easy shots and take good angles.
Sky is limit for what this kid's overall impact will be. Sure... maybe he's just good on offense but he's already showing chops to be a multiple DPOY.

I think its cause ppl nitpick at the kid. That is impressive considering how the puck n roll is a part of every teams plan. And he like a .65 and the closest to him was .71 he did well.

Private Evil mail brag! Real UK mafia - Enzo the (Ron) Baker!

Nice! I didn't watch that game- that will warm my orange and blue blood in the offseason. I liked the variety of his attacks and he set up Lance nicely twice too- I want the most out of all the Knicks I bet Lance can be good again w the team rolling a little better.

I'm hoping he'll be a point version of Tayshawn Prince.

What a waste of the eighth pick, this is on Mills. Why do you keep harping on Defense? Dennis Smith Jr. Led the league in number of idotic Knick fans added to his entourage! And y'all are hung up on some flim flam defense shit? SMDH

These things just drive home what we have said all along which is his overall impact needs to be judged beyond the basic stats like points and assists. If you really want him play you will see something like this isn't that surprising. He was never someone who belonged in the dleague or anything like that. He's a major impact player already. Much moreso than Smith too.

Yeah I was rough on Frank during the season but down the stretch he really looked good. When he started to take it to the basket he looked fantastic.
TheGame@ 4/29/2018 8:55 PM
Frank just needs to work on his body. He has skinny legs and no chest. He needs to add about 3-5 inches to his vertical and shave some time off his shuttle and sprint speeds through conditional and strength training. If Frank does nothing else but that this summer, he will be a 16pt, 6 assists, 6rb, 1.5 steal, 1 block type of player. Then as he further develops his skills, the sky is the limit. The guy is going to be good because he has a high B.B. Iq
