If they don’t play system ball in the GLeauge, then let him continue.
Needs to be more aggressive? Or Less French?
Draw was a passer and could shoot. PLayed for Pop twice.
Batum great shooter. His. Problem was not the money, but he was too French?

Tony Parker is going to the hall of fame...was he too French? Gobert is one of the best young big men in the league, too French too? Regardless of where he is from, he needs to less indecisive, shoot a better %, impact the game on the offensive end because when he is on the floor, at times it's as if we are playing 4 on 5...if we are being honest,based strictly on performance, he is probably last in the backcourt rotation... Allen has had a better impact on the floor than Frank has at any point this season. He's still 20, there's time but it has nothing to do with France but his play on the court.

Gotta disagree about Allen having a greater impact than Frank at any point of the season.

After watching this video, its clear that the game plan was to shade Harden left and lead him toward the help defenders. I know most people on this board refuse to give Fiz any credit as a coach, but that looks like a game plan that he and his staff put together and Frank did a really good job executing it...Give Frank credit for that, but on the other end he shot 0% from the field, missed all 6 of his shots...he did have 6 assists and 2 TOs as well...

Allen is averaging 16 and 6 off the bench over the last 4 games...he is running the offense like a pure point, giving us buckets and he is playing good D...he is doing it on both sides of the ball...this 4 game run is better than any string of games Frank has put together so far this season...not saying Frank can't improve but I'm calling it how I see it.

I'm saying that statement you made was a bit of an overstatement. Frank's game against GSW was better than any game Allen was played. I agree that Allen had had a good stretch, but so did Trey Burke, Toney Douglas ( whose game Allen reminds me of) etc. Allen has looked good. He's played the best out of all our guards, including Dot, Trier and Smith. But keep in mind Allen's stretch was done leading into the All-Star break and teams were slowing down. Let's see how he does the rest of the way.

Allen’s game isn’t like Trey’s at all. He is a very good defender, has more size so he can switch on guys. On offense he moves the ball and attacks the basket. The second unit has been fantastic with Allen at the point. I don’t see Trey or Toney at all when I watch Kadeem. There is so much talk about two way players. The Knicks have one on a two way deal. They don’t have to do anything right away but I think they need to keep Allen if he continues his good play. I don’t think Frank is or should be a part of the decision making process for Kadeem. The Knicks need to decide if Frank is a part of the future at all and if he is what position is he going to play. He hasn’t outplayed Allen to win the back up point guard job.

Wasn't comparing games, I was giving examples of guys who had periods of success. I actually compared him to Toney Douglas. I'm not sure what if Frank is part of our future either, but it's not because of Allen. Allen is already 26. I'm not sure of his upside and he's only had a limited amount success. I need to see more before I start incorporating him into our future plans.

Watching Frank try to generate offense, reminds me of when I was doing the same thing in pickup bball. Was overthinking.

The solution in my case was to speed things up. Find an open spot on the court, get there fast, let er' rip. Not having the extra time to overthink my form, stroke, made it easier in my case to develop the needed muscle memory. To push past that hole in my game. Also made it easier to spot up shoot eventually. Faster on the draw, so to speak.

That would be my advice to Frank. Make quick decisions. Dont need next level athleticism to do that.

Agreed

I like Allen more than Mudiay. He is more complete. Not to say better.
IN any event I like that he is being given a chance.

So Frankie just needs to start chucking.

Until he makes the scouting report

I think if we get 2 stars he will be shipped for a draft pick to open up cap space for a Vet. Maybe Deandre Jordan
