It's a good idea
Hopefully he can turn into the main guy
Even if he can't, a two way do it all #2 option is hard to find
At that point all the Knicks would need to do is draft or sign a superstar
Too bad no stars will come here until they see major cultural changes :francis:
Anthony Edwards :blessed:

Randle with the highest +/- :ehh:

Frank with the lowest :scusthov:


start Payton
frank just doesnt have enough heart for this league.
good, talented player, but doesn't have that natural drive and aggression needed to be an elite player at his position.

fizz got the best out of him earlier in the season with his motivation, had frank saying he was a "dog" too and shyt lol but don't have that self motivation which i dont think can be taught.

i mean hes had da starting spot for a while now and hasnt really been trying to hold on to it

going on his 3rd year and haven't seen that much of a leap from him. whether we can blame it on the coaching or Frank himself, he's had enough time to show and prove. a lot of us, myself included, are biased towards Frank because we drafted him and fans want to stick up for their homegrown players but let's be real, he'd be best coming off the bench. great defense aside, you just can't average < 5 points, 3 assists as a starting PG in today's league.

Missed the second half because I can't be making it through a work day on 5 hours sleep any more. Not when I have a choice at least. But yeah Frank hasn't looked good since the groin injury showed up on the reports again and I'm concerned about injury woes being a constant problem since this has happened two years in a row. The foul trouble was bad, but I heard he was completely out of sorts in the second half which is even more worrisome.

Good news, RJ looked good when I got to see him running PG in a decently spaced floor and with pick and roll attack options more prevalent. The off ball movement looked great too in the first half. I'll have to watch the ugliness later on and see what happened beyond that.

Got these nikkas looking like an underdog varsity team in an inner city and shyt.

Like this is the end of the movie with the caption after that reads,

"Coach Miller would go on to lead the East Flatbush Knicks to 4 more wins over the course of the next 50 games of the season. Years later, he'd eventually leave East Flatbush and bring multiple college teams to the Final Four"

"Julius Randle went on to graduate High School and leave the gang life and eventually create a nonforprofit, designed to keep inner youth out of street life, called Don't Pass Your Life Away".

"Frank Ntilikina continued to play for the East Flatbush High School Knicks for another 15 years, when, at the age of 36, he finally lived up to his potential leading the team to their first playoff appearance while avg 20ppg. He graduated high school the following year, walking the stage with his grandson. He gave the commencement speech in which he stated, 'never give up. Take things slow. Eventually, you'll arrive."

"Damien Dotson mysteriously disappeared. No one looked for him but always asked why he wasn't around."

"Bobby Portis was arrested for a triple homicide and currently coaches a Prison championship team."

"Principal Steve Mills and Assistant Principal Scott Perry were arrested and brought up on fraud charges based off an anonymous tip that the pair was siphoning funds and resources from money allocated to school books and employment contracts."


This was a SPIKE LEE JOINT
