This. Maddenly inconsistent? Yes. Streaky shooter? Check. Turns the ball over while creating shots? Yup.

But there's two reasons and really only two reasons we're unexpectedly 11-2 with a real tournament shot and not the expected 9-4 without a prayer. Not Battle, who has been an expected great player. Nope. It's Frank and Chukwu who have both been worlds better than we thought. I expected Kaleb Joseph level play from Frank, and an unplayable Chukwu. Instead, we got a Frank who plays consistently very good defense, and oscillates from very good to very bad on offense, but does often give us someone who can create offense for others. And we have exactly zero other players on the team currently who do this. Maybe MD at times, but he can't do it off the dribble.

And personally, I think Frank's shown real leadership this year. As often as I've seen him get on Paschal or Moyer for some mistake, I've seen him take responsibility and say my bad after his own mistakes. Honestly, I think he's probably the emotional leader of our team right now. Without him, we might not have one.

Anyhow, yeah, I'm not saying Frank's an amazing pg or even one of the best we've had recently. But man, is he better than the alternative.
