Frank Kaminsky played fewer minutes this season by far than he had in any of his three previous NBA campaigns. But with adversity comes opportunity and there’s no denying that a difficult situation helped the 26-year-old learn a lot about himself and his caring support circle.
A solid part of the rotation each of the last three seasons, Kaminsky began the year by moving over to the center position behind two traditional big men in Cody Zeller and Willy Hernangómez. He appeared in just five of the first 16 games, all of which were contests decided by 20-or-more points.
