No, it's not just Frank.
1) Didn't see a lot of drive and dish with Frank as the PG last year.
2) Not sure I've seen one.  Didn't see many last year either but Frank will throw it once in a while.  This needs to be a bigger part of our offense.
3) Had a few issues but on the whole no.  No matter who the PG is if they press you will not get into the Offense very soon.
4) UConn hit a few 30 footers that Frank won't help with.  He will probably take a few 20-22 footers away though.  Carey is closer to 6'4" than 6'3"...he's plenty tall and quicker.
5) Biggest issue in my opinion.  Without Frank, Tyus seems to think he has to make every play and has been forcing his shot (hence the sub 10% 3FG%).  Shooting it with no legs.  OB is stepping out to take that pressure off but that's not his game.  The 3 should be more of a when left alone for OB than at the end of a possession.  He still isn't making layups and unfortunately isn't taking many of them either.
My brother asked me if it was good that the best PG on the team may be a true frosh.  Carey is NOT the best PG on the team.  He played 38 minutes the other night with ZERO assists He HAS been the best guard on the team though as his 26 pts that same game indicate, plus he's shooting 50% FG (Tyus is at 40, OB at 31% and EH at 38% and from 3 its even worse with Carey at 42%, TB 9%, OB 19%, EH 25%, Frank is not likely to help this and taking your best shooter out of the lineup doesn't scream BETTER.

Still, lots of talent.  Let's see how they play with Frank.  JB's biggest problem may be how to get his 5 best players on the court together; FH, JC, TB, EH and OB.  An actual PG would have a field day with this team.
