Why is everyone pegging Zeller ahead of Frank?

Seems as though everyone thinks its a forgone conclusion Zeller will be starting next year at PF. 

I am sorry, but Zeller is not on Frank's level when it comes to offense. Would be a crying shame if Frank was not starting. 

Unless of course Zeller has substantially improved over the offseason, which I doubt.

Don't want to rush Frank into a role he's not ready for. We did the same thing with Cody.

I'm perfectly fine with pick and pops featuring Lin and Kaminsky in the second unit. That suits both their strengths.

Alllllll of this.

Cody already has a chemistry with the first team. He understands his role and will force FK3 to work harder for a starting role.

I think that it will happen but in time. I have watched all these summer league games and one thing Frank needs to improve on is his strength to rebound in traffic. He has given up a ton of offensive rebounds.  If we have him and Big Al together a lot we will need to have MKG or Batum averaging double digit rebounds

You play the best player period. 

Wrong. You play the best LINEUP. The whole is more than the sum of its parts. You have to be well rounded as a team and cannot leave gaping weaknesses without it being your total undoing. 

 

That at being said, none of us have even seen Frank play 1 second of REAL pro ball. I HAVE seen him be incredibly streaky in summer league. Let's put on the breaks a bit when it comes to anointing the guy this quickly.

O is always placed above D in the league. 

Look at Harden. Dude is about as bad as it gets on D. 

To me Zeller's D does not make up for the difference lost on O compared to Frank. 

 

Did you watch Harden play this year? Big improvement defensively. That's pretty much why the Rockets made it to western conference semis.

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
