He has always had the talent and physical ability. Consistency and role were the issues IMO. It seems through work he has made himself more consistent and it seems that the Mavs coaches have nailed a role in which he can find regular success to gain confidence. That is one thing about RC that was really good IMO, that he worked to put guys in a place to succeed so he could build up their confidence as players. He didn't like to just throw them out there and have them fail.
One of the things about Frank in NYK working against him was that there was a LOT of love and expectation on him and the fans REALLY wanted him to be something more than he probably is. The expectations to be a "star" can be crippling to just finding your role as a support guy.
