He's averaging 3.5 steals per 36. He has a nice release so the shot should come around.

I agree with this... The two biggest worries with Frank were his upside, and how quickly he could become an NBA player. I think his ceiling is still going to be capped compared to the other guys picked around him, but his development is coming along nicely, and he seems to have a pretty high floor already. I think he can definitely become an impact player on a playoff team, just as long as he doesn't try to stray outside his role. He's never going to be THE MAN, but he can be a cornerstone player (like how post-peak Marion was for us).
