Just want to jump in on this debate real quick.  I'm as big of proponent of Frank as anyone (I've posted several times calling for more minutes for him) but some of the people putting down KJ need to back off a bit.

He had a great floor game yesterday.  Not sure what the stats show but he had two excellent dimes I can recall right off of the top of my head where he used his dribble to set someone up for a wide open shot (the pass along the baseline, and a beautiful setup to Cooney for a 3.)  You can tell the game is slowing down for him and he's actually playing with intent rather than just trying to survive out there.  The 2 threes he missed were not in the flow of the offense and if I recall correctly were possessions where we just didn't get anything going and we needed to put a shot up.  Also, I think he was tripped by the defender on the play where he fell down.

As far as Frank... His ceiling (especially in the Syracuse system) is miles higher than KJ's.  He's a good rebounder for a guard already.  He plays with purpose and like I've said before he has this ability to skate to the rim with his head up and he knows how to set teammates up.  I have lots more to say about Frank but I gotta make my way to today's turkey.

Bottom line is that KJ is playing better and Frank has potential.  I just don't want to have games this season where Frank doesn't play at all.  He needs to be out there each and every game because we will need him come tournament time.  I think JB likes Frank's game and will put him on the floor.

GO KJ, GO FRANK, GO ORANGE!!!

BEAT UCONN!!!!!
