Just give him some time.

Basically that video could have been made before the season started- they’ve both sucked so whichever one you liked going into the season is probably the one you still like now. Frank’s assist rate has fallen off a cliff, he’s got a sub.400 TS%, and he hasn’t gotten a steal in the last 7 games. I don’t care about Dennis Smith- My concern is that after a decent start Frank has been godawful for the last 10 games. He’s 19 so obviously nothing is set in stone but I feel a whole lot less confident about him now than I did a month ago.

The most impressive part was not the narrator’s arguments, but actually watching Frank guard Harden well. That is hard to do. I’m a believer that Ntilikina will be good and I’m willing to be patient. I think it’s hard to compare a two way player like KP to an offensive force like Towns and so the preference is more a matter of your personal preferences than anything cut and dried.

Discuss amongst yourselves.

Look, Frank is off to a rough start, but as I and a bunch of other posters have stated, ad nauseum, is lets give it more than a 1/4 of a season and stop the bitching about drafting the wrong player.

I’ve been dealing with nausea since draft day when Phil made what I thought was an obviously bad decision, and it gets worse with every game.

To me, injury risk is the only reason I don’t give KP the edge. He has shown flashes of bring a truly complete player. But… It’s only flashes, because he’s hurt a lot. If that changes and he starts performing for 70 games each year at a high level, he may be the best player from that draft.

And as it turns out, it wasn’t. Grant hasn’t really developed, Lopez is not as much of an asset as some thought he was. Holiday played OK for a year, and we got a 2nd round pick. We dumped Calderon’s salary. But I am one of the few that didn’t conflate the Rose deal with the Noah deal. If looked at as a package deal, it was God-awful. If looked at separately, it was a dumb, but fairly inconsequential gamble. And we didn’t re-sign him as many feared we would.

Now Mitchell is on a nice run (TS still around .520 tho) , and I guess we’re going to have to go through that again.

But my guess is that KAT is still the favorite to have the better career, especially if injury risk is factored in.
