Frank is clearly a talented young kid on both ends of the floor, and he's still only 23. He just needs the right role, and all indications so far point to both he and Dallas building a mutually beneficial relationship. I'm really happy to have him and look forward to watching him continue to grow as a player.
I do have almost unlimited amounts of views /slash information from publicly available sources on this from following it closely, but almost nothing is relevant to the Mavs except that Frank did have a couple of years where he lost a couple of months worth of games with groin strain injuries. Those should be not repeating afaics .. but who knows?
(The other factors were league worst coaching and FOing. Not even Knicks fans want to revisit those subjects. :lol: )
