The team was night and day better with Frank on the floor last night.
He looked like a true lottery pick!!

His driving layup finishing through contact over 2 defenders brought tears to my eyes. Hope to continue to see him grow.

I have been watching the knicks since the 80's and Frank is the youngest player to have ever been drafted by the knicks.

He just needs to be consistent, like do that again for the next 5 games, and win.

Its a process and winning is a consequence.
This team needs more that one or 2 prospects to morph in NBA level players to win.
Winning will come in due time and it still a long way to get there.

I am glad for him. The player who was 2 years away from being 2 years away may finally may be coming around.

Because you watch games since the 1980's and touting this as a credential has nothing to do with a single element of validity other than demonstrating a 40 year inability to digest an understanding of what your watching.

That being said he's someone I would like to lock up under a reasonable contract if they can get it done this off season. He's just a good character team guy and hopefully he will figure out if he keeps his head up and attacks there are 12-14pts for him every game.

Frank is hitting the gaps in the defense as soon as he gets the ball. He isnt dribbling out at the perimeter, trying to figure out what to do. Little to no hesitation.

This is the first game as a pro that Frank really looked like he wasnt afraid of contact. He finished after contact. Believe its been more mental than conditioning. Its encouraging to see Frank finally playing that way.

Agree with what MS said about Frank being a good character player. As long as we dont put all our eggs in the Frank as the PG of the future, basket. I wouldnt mind bringing him back either, if the price is right.

So who knows... maybe Frank is our Marcus Smart. Maybe he's a 15/10 guy and starter next year and is the best defensive PG in the league. Time will tell. I continue to like what I see from him and his attitude. Considering all the BS that has gone down in his 3 years here all he does is show up and play hard and keep learning.

Marcus Smart in year 4 was averaging 10ppg/4asst coming off the bench and shooting 37% overall and 30% from downtown.
Signed 4-yr/$52MM contract on Thursday, July 19, 2018

let's not discount how horrible Fizzdale and this FO have been to Frank's development too. Fizz wanted to mold all of his players into whatever version of Wade Lebron or Bosh instead of working with what was in front of him. His game regressed on his watch bc Fizz was demanding/expecting Frank to turn into some electric player on offense overnight -- that's not who he is

FO did everything possible to undermine his confidence starting with Mudiay (?!? -- lucky to even get on the floor with Jazz though noticeably lighter) then DSJ then Payton. the entire crew should be put in stockades in front of MSG so people can throw garbage at them and call them names

Miller has been more patient and there are an accumulation of baby steps leading to real growth which we are witnessing. He's not just hitting gaps quicker. He is trying to throw it down over Dwight Howard (granted not the best idea, but love the change in attitude)

p.s.,

coaching staff needs to remind him he's from France: where's the eurostep? and work on your flopping too!

some fancy footwork right there. who does it remind me of? funny you should ask. that move right there reminds me of the dreamshake by Hakeem. minus the spin cycle the Dream had at the end

Frank put that fool on spin cycle.

Why do I keep hearing Breen saying "Oh Snap" at the end?
