I agree with people saying the eye test is where you really see that Frank is better (especially defensively) but lets not act like Frank's stats this year are the same as they were last year.

In the first four games last year (all against mid-majors ... 3 of the 4 against bad mid majors) Frank averaged 9ppg.

In the first five games this year (all against mid-majors ... 4 of the 5 against good mid majors) Frank averaged 16ppg.

We thought Frank performed great last year because, coming off a Freshman year where he hardly scored at all, 9ppg felt like a lot.  He is playing on a completely different level now than he was even during his good stretch against bad mid majors last year.  I don't know that he will continue to average 16ppg as the competition gets tougher (I still think Thorpe will come good and if that happens he will likely take some of the shots Howard is getting now) but I know for sure without needing to see him against a P5 team that Howard is better this year than he was last year.
