Official 2017-2018 Knicks season thread

Frank is the answer

On life

His team. Not KP's

 

[goldenchild9]

Maybe in 3 seasons.

Kid looks like he has A LOT to learn.

 

[Upptempo]

A lot of NBA players took time to develop into borderline stars or full fledged stars. I honestly dunno what to expect of Frank's career at this moment but I wanna give dude a chance. KP is 7'9 so he was bound to get us excited when he was doing tall guy stuff like put back dunks and blocks. Frank has to develop actual skill to instill the same excitement

I know this is the Knicks thread but sheesh his jumper is water.

Wanted to play for NYK real bad too.

 

[Master Zik]

That Yankees win got me feeling good

 

[pr0phecy718]

This is the Yankees thread now, eff the Knicks

 

[njavier03]

Knicks are trash, Embiid > KP, Phil is the deadbeat that left his baby mama (the Knicks) with the child (Frank). Now he’s out there with all his mils smoking the greenest green, while we out here on food stamps tryna adopt more kids (Burke) so we can collect more welfare checks (aka tank), but we still won’t get a top 3 pick, bc we’re the *** of the league.

That might be franks totals for the year.

Monk was the guy I wanted us to draft. I think Frank might still be good, but going to take 3-4 years IMO

 

[nick.]

Any time you can draft Lou Williams 8th overall you gotta do it

[Air Pope]

FIRE

 

[njavier03]

Any time you can draft Lou Williams 8th overall you gotta do it

to be fair, if Alphabet is Frank's ceiling, then i'll take it over Lou Will

 

[throwback1718]

Trey Burke tho?


I really thought he had loads of potential in utah

 

[njavier03]

he's undersized and can't defend

 

[ballinsam23]

Damn Frank is gonna have to be a damn hall of famer for some of u guys to accept that Monk or DSJ aren't Knicks.

I mean, dude hasn't even played significant pre-season minutes yet, while the players we passed up on for him are tearing it up.

All we've seen are some training videos from Frank that looks like he's moving in slow motion.

It's called show and prove. He hasn't shown or proved anything yet. Once he does then the narrative will change.

Melo is a first ballot HoF'er and you still carry him like a bum, so you should understand

 

[ballinsam23]

I never said Melo is a bum. The way most of you guys suck Melo off ofcourse you'd take it that way though.

It's fine if a player plays in slow motion. You could still be effective. Look at Pierce, CJ Mcollum, Kidd, plenty of slow players that are really good.

I care about IQ, defense, ability to hit the 3, and the impact in making others better. I could care less about flashy dunks and crossovers.

At 19 Frank checks off all the boxes that it takes years for most guys to learn in the league. Once him and KP share the court together the narrative will change.

Would i have drafted DSJ or Monk? Probably. But it doesn't matter now. I still think Frank will prove a lot of people wrong.

 

[the 718 truth]

to be fair, if Alphabet is Frank's ceiling, then i'll take it over Lou Will

I thought his ceiling was what Shawn Livingston was supposed to be 13 years ago?

[goldenchild9]

It's cool to be optimistic and all but the kid hasn't played any real minutes yet against NBA comp.

DS Jr and Monk have and they've been showing out. He will be compared to the other players in his draft class, at his position, for the rest of his career...

Just like every other player in NBA history.

Nothing unusual about that.

I hope he turns into a star but some of these comparisons to once in a generation talents are pretty immature.

 

[floodarea]

So much going on in here before the first regular season game

What happened to not caring and no expectations? Water y'all frettin' about??

 

[donewithjs]

Franks ceiling is Ron Baker.
