hoping for the best, especially for Sid who deserve a break

 

[Madbiker]

Well that likely means good bye Frank.

 

[HOFCeluck]

LETS GOOOOOO

 

[pearl31]

huh.
hope he can make it through a season and give us some good minutes!

Kid deserves to have a healthy year. Fingers crossed.

 

[PauliePeppas]

At the minimum it will be GREAT just to have his experience/insight/mentoring around the program all summer and year

 

[JDubbin]

I love this for depth & Sid to get another chance to perform. My hope is that from the get-go he's slotted into a backup role. Less minutes, less expectation & team reliance on his performance. Give Jesse the chance to start & continuing growing. Frank & Sid come in situationally.

 

[Cusefan0307]

Ehhhhh. Hoping for the best for Sid, but not sure how I feel about this from a basketball perspective.

 

[UpstateSM]

Well that likely means good bye Frank.

Nothing against Bourama because it’s been completely out of his control but this shouldn’t scare Frank away.

 

[jdubs30]

Wow that’s a surprise!

Hopefully him and Jesse split time at the 5

 

[jdubs30]

Ehhhhh. Hoping for the best for Sid, but not sure how I feel about this from a basketball perspective.

JB is not going to play 3 centers unless he thinks Frank can give us some minutes at the 4 (which seems unlikely with Jimmy Jr coming)

 

[Cusefan0307]

Wow that’s a surprise!

Hopefully him and Jesse split time at the 5

Hopefully Jesse gets the shot to start and play more as he’s the higher upside player.

Ehhhhh. Hoping for the best for Sid, but not sure how I feel about this from a basketball perspective.

Yeah, that's where I'm at.

 

[Cuse1055]

Crossing my fingers and hoping this isn’t like when DaJuan came back for his final year. Bourama deserves a healthy season. Really hope Frank stays too.

 

[jdubs30]

Hopefully Jesse gets the shot to start and play more as he’s the higher upside player.

I do wonder if Sidibe will require “load management”. I’m not a doctor nor familiar with his injury but I’d be curious if they limit him to 20mpg or so in order to try to keep him healthy

 

[JustPherU]

Love it!
Don’t see any downside of him coming back.Can only believe there must be a good chance of him being healthy enough to contribute next season otherwise why would JB want him back.

 

[djcon57]

Ehhhhh. Hoping for the best for Sid, but not sure how I feel about this from a basketball perspective.

I will say IF Frank was gone...it’s about as good as you are going to do.

I am concerned if he gets the starts and of course if he gets injured again and we’re down to 1 center again, but hey, maybe he gets back to how he looked in late 2020

if Frank does come back, yeah, theres a logjam

 

[dasher]

Awful news. We now we will lose Frank.

So frank is going to leave because a guy that couldn't play last year at all, says he is coming back. Do we want a guy like that?

 

[jdubs30]

Sidibe (assuming health) makes us better this year than Frank does. Obviously Frank has better long term upside, but we can recruit another 5 to back up Jesse for next year now

 

[JustPherU]

I do wonder if Sidibe will require “load management”. I’m not a doctor nor familiar with his injury but I’d be curious if they limit him to 20mpg or so in order to try to keep him healthy

I’d take 20 mpg in a heartbeat

 

[stuckinbig11]

Wow. I hope he can get back to what he once was.

 

[JDubbin]

With Sid coming back & if/when Jimmy Jr. transfers in... we're gonna have a college roster of grown men OG's with a higher median age than some NBA rosters

JB values experience, right? How many times is it mentioned here.

if you are Frank, seeing what we saw this year, maybe he feels like he will be the 3rd option and won’t get a fair crack.

dont think it’s fair to judge players character based on stuff like that

 

[JustPherU]

Why the assumption Frank is gone? Has he said he is leaving if Sidibe is returning?
