One of those playing time oddities that happens with Coaches, just depending on a certain coaches style leanings or sometimes something the Coaches know or see that the public doesn't. Carlisle was infamous for this both on style preferences and on behind the scene motivations.
Kidd loves defense 1st maybe and sees Frank's defense as more valuable?
Coaching a guy like Frank up on offense seems a lot less likely to be successful than coaching a youngster like Hardy up on defense.
Maybe a similar situation to Wood, who took the challenge and raised his defensive game.
