Guy that said Nits would start didn?t know what he was talking about. Kid named Albicy started, how someone less than 6 ft starts over an NBA player who is 6?7? is beyond me, Nits with 8 pts 2-5 both treys in 13 mins. Evan Fournier was the star for the French.
Frank & Gobert are NBA players giving all their French teammates the time to shine in the FIBA tournament.
Frank & Gobert are not going to do anything foolish to get injured in the FIBA tournament.
Without the help of the Knicks poor NBA Program .. Frank's NBA growth to become an all-around NBA player are working well on getting his speed right and his HOPS in step from outside of the Knicks program. Does Frank want to be traded from the Knicks to a NBA team that has a effective NBA Program for their young players? Yes! Yes! Yes!
Franks performance in the Fiba games makes him the 7th or 8th Man in the Knicks rotation in the upcoming season.
How well did Fizdale do having a veteran roster in Memphis? Not so good!
How well were Fizdale's defense last season, and the full season with the Grizz? Not so good!
We now have some decent veteran players to put in the starter lineup (except at center) to take a large load off the young-core players on the roster.
Will Fizdale give the FA players we sign during the off-season a chance to build a starter-lineup among themselves?
By letting the starter lineup play the first 7 to 8 minute of the first quarter to work-out the screws n nuts in their performance.
