fukking Knicks man

I have been crazy busy the past 2 months or so and then seeing Kristaps go down just depressed the shyt out of me.

How has Mudiay been doing btw? I have always liked what he showed in flashes. Crazy to think that the knicks almost drafted this guy and we end up with him anyway.

His form on jumpers is still pretty busted. His ability to get into the lane is as advertised and he's well aware of kickout options. Strong vision, pretty clever passing but he sometimes lobs the pass or is a bit inaccurate on it (as in a shooter has to adjust instead of catching in rhythm). On his drives, I'ma say it until he proves me wrong but the kid gets inside yet doesn't know how to draw the whistle in spite of constantly being knocked down. His finishing at the rim is surprisingly weak at the moment but getting foul calls would really help that fast. Defensively he's been pretty bad. Pick and roll awareness and spacing are both a problem for him right now. Basically, he has a lot of tools at his disposal but hasn't added craft to make them work. He also hasn't developed as much in weakness areas as you'd hope in these years. You hope the change of scenery motivates him and we get real help to push him and Frank.

nikka please stop frank isn't an nba player, he is a top ten pick with no nba level skillset he is not a nba passer, his jumpshot is spotty at best, he can't get into the hole, and he is so passive on drives that it usually leads to turnovers because he never attempts a shot so you know he is going to pass it.

I am sorry but he should have stayed in Europe and worked on his game more, maybe he will develop but right now nah son

Frank is already a very good defender. That's what makes him useful on the court and the reason that even with ugly offensive numbers his on/off splits manage to be solid. The rest is a raw clean slate to build on, but it's up to the Knicks and him to do that right. The kid was drafted as a project at probably the toughest position to learn in the NBA, give him time.

Knicks fans have no patience and expect players to develop in less than a season with the WOAT coaching staff in the nba:mjlol:
