I challenge someone to find a clip of Frank using his left hand one time in the entire tournament.



Just because he isn't amphibious like Shaq doesn't mean he won't be great, if he needed to use his left more he would have.

His drop step is ridiculous. It makes him unstoppable down low and the way he can use it while driving is just awesome. Also, his handle is off the charts for a 7 footer. If he was black he would easily be the #1 prospect coming out.


Completely agree. The drop step is a lost art and because of that, no one knows how to defend against it without fouling. His footwork overall is incredible. This gives him a tremendous advantage against typical post players.

Yea maybe in a few years Kaminsky will be a hybrid land-water animal like Shaq, according to Lsu480

He was the fricking college player of the year, what he was doing was obviously working.

Go back and look at a list of college player of the years from the past 10 years. You'll see that not all of them are stud NBA players.

Frank is slow. What happened to Adam Morrison will happen to him. Game won't translate. He'll have to change his game to be successful in the league.

I don't see him being more than a role player in the NBA. Very skilled but not very talented.

He's destined to replace Matt Bonner on the Spurs next season

Not a troll, Shaq actually really did say he could go left or right because he was amphibious

If the Spurs can trade up and get him, and Pop stays, it would be the perfect situation for him.

Yea, but Okafor will be an all-star and Kaminsky shut his arse down all game on both ends of the court. He embarrassed him on the boards. He handles the ball like a small forward and is very agile and can also shoot from all over the court. Seems like a legit prospect to me.
