I think people [not you, SoBe] get too hung up on positions.  Frank will be a guard.  Both he and Carey will have the ball in their hands and share playmaking responsibilities.  In some lineups, Frank will be the clear lead guard [say, if he's paired with Hughes or Buddy].  In others, he might play off the ball.  But neither he nor Carey are "pure" point guards -- they're hybrid scorers / facilitators.

Where I think we might see a better, more effective Frank next season isn't just related to having better scorers / shooters to pass to, but also that his game might be more complimentary with Carey than it is with Battle.  Battle doesn't make Frank's job easier -- because while he's an adequate ballhandler, he isn't dynamic taking it to the basket, he isn't a passer, and he isn't a pure shooter.  He can DO all of those things, but he isn't taking much pressure off of Frank.  Carey would be able to.

With Frank, I think being in a position where he doesn't have to do as "much" because nobody else on the team can is going to go down substantially next year, and make him more efficient / effective.  Less will be more, in other words.
