What's new

Frank the Tank or The anti small ball stategy - Play 3 seven footers who can defend the 3, 4, and 5.

I think the OP may be on to something. I've been looking at Dekker at 12 for the Jazz, but I'm starting to think that if the Tank is available, you take him instead. Before the emergence of Kevin Love a few years ago, I had been admittedly down on tall, fundamental American white guys who could shoot -- and there are many disasters that had come into the League to back that up. Several guys since that time have changed my mind.

I think Frank will be a good player in the right system. And even if he's just a decent defender, Rudy and Derrick will have his back. With his shooting ability, post game, ability to hit the 3 and stretch the floor -- on this team -- he might well be the perfect fit. A few other adjustments and I think we have a solid squad next year.

Good post, OP.

Really? Klove?

What about Money Memo?

Why doesn't he get any love on this board? Money Memo was a fantastic white player. Frank actually reminds me a lot of Memo's game. The problem always was that Memo needed to either come off our bench or not play with a guy like Boozer.
 
Myles Turner is not 'explosively athletic'. Really struggles with lateral movement...I don't know if he can defend other positions. Not sure why people are thinking he can.
