Frank can be a difference maker defensively if he can stay healthy and make enough shots to stay on the floor. For comparison, Royce O'Neal is 6'4" with 6'9" wingspan. Frank is 6' 4" with a 7' 1" wingspan. Kleber's wingspan is 6' 11".
I was a bit too hyperbolic when I called him a "deep backup" yesterday. He's a rotation player who's been out of the rotation and he can have a long career if he keeps working on his game. He's still young at only 24.
I think there's still a big gap between Frank and a hard-nosed role player like Royce O'Neal but this might be Frank's opportunity to plug a gap and carve out a role in the regular rotation, even once Green returns. You need good switchable individual defenders on the floor with Wood because there won't be any rim protection on the floor for the foreseeable future.
