Steve is not that far removed from all-star form. He may not have been an all-star in Orlando, but he still put up all-star numbers. He really didnt drop off until last season. for Orlando, he still averaged about 19ppg, 5.3rpg, and 6.3 apg. Just last year in New York, he got hurt, you can tblame him for that.
That's funny, I don't remember Francis having microfracture knee surgery or was 34-36 years old... He's still more of an all star than mike james has ever been. I don't think he has to prove any more than Mike James does. They both had terrible seasons last year. The difference is James wasn't injured and was brought in to be a substantial contributor to the Wolves and was bad enough to be benched in favor of a rookie. Francis had numerous injuries (I will assume they are real until proven otherwise) and was on a team where he faced a logjam at his position. They both have something to prove, but to say Francis has more to prove than James is silly.
