My Take
Frank Kaminsky is fascinating to me as a study in basketball evolution: a 213-centimetre big man with guard-like skill who, in 2015, swept essentially every national college player of the year honor at Wisconsin. That kind of unanimous recognition is rare and tells you he was a genuine problem to defend. What intrigues me most now, though, is geography. Watching a former NBA giant suit up for Alvark Tokyo in Japan's B.League is a quietly romantic turn, and I think it speaks well of his love for the game beyond the brightest lights.
