We need to figure out a way to get off of Brown and Burke. I do wonder if we could develop Frank more if we was given reliable minutes. The problem is that THJ is coming back so it will be hard to carve out minutes for both Frank and Josh.
Josh's athleticism is impressive but I can't say his defense ever wows me. He gets a lot of dumb fouls and while he can stay in front of his man, it doesn't ever seem to bother him much. Maybe there is a little recency bias on my part with how Clarkson feasted on him, but I've had similar feelings throughout the season. His best traits are cutting and ball handling with a little playmaking. His worst trait is his fear of shooting. You can be taught how to shoot but I can't teach you the confidence to shoot.
Frank just looks more comfortable and that makes sense considering his experience with his national team and the Knicks. He just seems ready and that shot he hit in game four proves it. I'm not sure Josh even pulls the trigger. The negative I've noticed about him in his limited playoff minutes is that he's had two or three tips on really simple passes. While none of Brown, Burke, Josh or he have much value, he's probably the most attractive trade piece.
