And like i said in the other thread, none of the others did it on such low usage as Franz.

Incredible, really.

He's extremely good. Has top 20 potential.

Jalen Suggs needs to play 20 minutes in one more game to be eligible for defensive awards. You have to play at least 20 minutes in 65 separate games to be eligible. If I counted right, he's at 64.

And that's why even if no major changes are made this season... there is still a ton of growth that will happen in the next few years! :-)

Depends on their evaluation. If they see something they LOVE.... HELL YEAH... GO GET EM. I'm just talking about not making a move ... JUST.... to make a move.

Cute data, but false.

2010-11 OKC , 55 wins. Trip to WCF.
leading scorers: Durant, Westbrook Harden, age 22,22,21.

Orlando Muse got lazy, they didn't counted oKC because "Jeff Green" but Green was traded mid season so he shouldn't be counted.

And Memphis did pretty much same thing two years ago, but i think they don't "count " because Brooks averaged like 1,5 ppg more than Jackson.

How bad is Caleb Houstan's ankle? He is missing a lot of games.

It's simply fact. Okc did it in 2010-11. They just got lazy and didn't check data out.
Nba uses "end season up " roster so Jeff being 3rd scorer but traded out is irrelevant. For same reason Magic "leading assists " guy that year was Mack. Not because he did it (Payton was) but because he ended up season with us and Payton didn't.

In general i tend to hate those "first ever since" because data is always manipulated and missleading.
Overall, t's not game, you don't get boost points for playing younger guys more, most young teams in all sports never achive nothing, mostly because from start hype is bigger (and sounds better) than reality.

Most hyped recent young teams that went nowhere: Pelicans, Grizzlies, Mavs ( Brunson- Luka- Zingis ) oh and damn Wolves with army of first overall picks aka 'spooky Wolves", "Process 6ers" etc.

Oh and current OKC team is led by old dog so doesn't count, 25 years old grandpa SGA, nevermind starting 3 players below 23, and oldest starter being 25 :lol:

All "muse" teams use their x page for hype. But 99,99% it's just spitting usless data to showcase xy team as superior, threading in right direction and elite at something.

Whelp... this was one of the reasons i really liked Caruso as a pick up this offseason. A suggs/Caruso combination would give most teams fits as we wait for AB to come into play. But damn... super proud to already see him on this list.

I know many are concerned by the usage.... but to be honest... i believe that the focus on Paolo and Franz was decided on from the beginning of the season as our focal point. AB and Jett weren't going to get much time this season.... but health issues gave us a taste. Not enough for us to know what he is going to be for us. Low usage is by design. JUST GO DO THIS.... and stay in that lane. and he did so. But in no way do i believe that this is indicative of the extents of his abilities or what he will be with us in the future. He is ahead of the curve on the defensive level... and after his taste of the league and the speed and the different experiences .... i feel he will be given a direction to success for next season.

The x-rays on Isaac and Franz were negative. The injury report should be out around 330 est.
