I need everyone who talked down about FrankNT to speak up for DSJR being out with a knee effusion already
 
Lettuce be real for a moment: at 8 we all wanted the team to go in different directions...

Team Dennis Smith JR - freak athlete, knee issues - showed athleticism in pre season but didn't play in the opener because of knee issues
Team Malik Monk - scores easily, defensive liability - good preseason but struggled in the opener
Team Frank Ntikitilinasayitdifferenteverytime - young and full of potential, raw not sure if game will translate to NBA - hesitant, young and still learning

Point being, it is still way too early to be questioning the pick and wishing we went another route at that position. Any of these dudes can emerge as an All-star one day, tear an ACL attacking the lane, or end up being Johny Flynn 2.0

Personally, I am enjoying watching all 3 develop their potential in this league but obviously am cheering on Frank the most. If he can start orchestrating the offense to get good ball movement and allow KP to get the rock in spots where he can work one on one we will be golden.

GO KNICKS!
 
When you suck as bad as the Knicks have you HAVE to take a risk. DSJr floor was higher than Franks. We all knew that. But Frank had the ability to become a long, athletic guard who can transcend positions.

The NBA is transitioning into a position less sport. DSJr is a great SG/PG but you can't put him on a longer guy or have him play help defense on a long guy. You can do that with Frank if he can bulk up
 
Lol na Flynn had crazy hype. He shot up draft boards. Similar to how much some Knick fans wanted Emmanuel Bootiay
 
Even if we drafted DSJr he would've been a 15/7 guy and the Knicks would be like "not good enough" and let him enter free agency and become a 24/9 guy on another team
