First, its a fallacy to think that at this level, point guards are always breaking down the man who's guarding them.  We've had one point guard in the past 30 years who could legitimately take his man off the dribble whenever he wanted - Jonny Flynn.  Only the most elite players are able to do this in the college game.  Why anyone would argue this as a point against Frank, a kid who was essentially recruited to be length at the top of the zone, and to competently get the ball up court and distribute off, is beyond me and is unreasonable.

Second, Frank and Battle are playing offense 2.5 on 5.  Every defense they face is keyed on stopping them and stopping their penetration.  When Chukwu is out there, you have a player that you cannot even trust passing the ball.  Moyer and Marek have no ability to draw defenders. COuple that with an offense that draws defenders to him, and requires them to play to the end of the shot clock, thereby creating low percentage opportunities, i dont know what more you could expect from Frank, or any point for that matter.
