He was blowing by everyone on the Philly team at will! I think he got his shot blocked once in all those attempts in the paint.
If Frank can be sneaky with his change of pace steps and use his arm length with some body control, he can get to the rim. Not ala Westbrook and others who can just use a burst of speed to blow by defenders, just smarts, he'll be AOK.
Frank is learning to use his stride. The fundamentals are coming along.
Emiid blocked him but I dig the moves to the rim. He missed a few shots in the paint that could have rolled in. AKA: GOOD MISSES! The kid is doing things different. Funny, he shoots 81% and they talking about his good foul shooting and he missed both!!!
Im not measuring his HOF jacket quite yet but the hustle plays and defense was noticeable.

Frank looked noticeably different...even with his missed shots as you mentioned he got to the rim and they were right there. If he understands how his aggressiveness can set up the rest of his game, both from a shot and passing perspective and be consistent...he will have turned the corner...

My fear is his stamina. I hope its not 3 more games of this followed by another lull.
