Both Hamilton and Frolik are high IQ players. Frolik knows where to be, and is rarely out of position. He makes sensible plays (minus his Vegas gaffe). Hamilton is severely underrated here. He makes plenty of subtle, smart plays, passes to the correct place in most cases, and also has a great sense of when to advance and when to retreat. I would say he thinks the game more than he sets his physical gifts.
