He hasn’t looked right the last few games.
He's struggled the last few games but he's the same age as Frank...Why does Frank get the 'be patient' label but DSJ doesn't

People are "patient" with Frank? Where was this?

Thats what I said...People are patient with Frank but not so much with DSJ.

'Cause Frank is family and he plays strong defense. This will be Frank's first opportunity to play in an offense with ball movement. The latest ball stopper is Smith.

Not me. I’m excited and patient for both. Think both have lots of talent and would love if both became a big part of the winning team we finally build, whether that is next season or in three.

DSJ wears the blue and orange so he's Fam in my book !! I root for Frank because he wears the blue and orange too but we need to stop making excuses for him and just admit he's been trash so far this year...He still has time to turn it around but the passes and excuses this dude gets compared to Mudiay and DSJ is crazy!

I'm probably not in that overly patient with Frank group because I agree with you, I think he's been straight trash this year.
But like someone else said, there's one fundamental difference. I think there's a better pathway for Frank to become an effective player on a winning team because he's very good defensively and unselfish offensively. Basically in this league, it's going to hurt you if you have players that don't want to fit in the role that's right for them. DSJ, even if you're talking strictly about relative to players at his age and experience...is not good enough for the role he wants and tries to play, and we've already seen him balk at taking a step to what would be more appropriate for him.
I am concerned with Frank though because he'd have to be a good shooter and passer/decision maker to make it in the role that's right for him, and he's not even close on either end. He's a bad shooter and he's timid with his decision-making. It's a huge red flag that he didn't improve at all from year 1 to year 2.

My point was that I don't see much patience with Frank at all so I don't get your point. In general I'd say Knick (New York) fans have the patience of a hungry tired 2 year old.
