The PAOLO effect...on our roster

[RookieStar]

Last year, I assumed Franz takes another step, and, with increased confidence, approaches 20 ppg…I really hope he can still progress with PB having a similar, but more overpowering game. I really hope their sum is greater than their parts and they don’t marginalize each other.

If Cole has less PT aka chucking time, then yes Franz can def average near 20ppg eap with the passing abilities of Fultz and PB.

However, if Cole does play alongside Franz a lot, then all bets are off

I just don't want to see Franz standing in the corner, yelling "Paolo, I'm open"...that's on Mose to manage, I guess.

If Franz is open and he screams that, you can bet that Paolo will see that and make that pass. Especially if Franz is cutting to the basket.

Which is why i feel kinda sad for Jabari because as good of a shooter he is, majority of his PT will be yelling to Green and KPJ that he is wide open.

Hi guys, Wolves fan visiting. I wasn’t sure where to put this video, but I figure this thread looks like a good place. This is from a Pro Am where Paolo looked amazing. Clips from Chet and McDaniels as well for NBA fans who like other young stars.

I agree... I was all in on Jabari and his "fit right in" game. In hindsight, he does look like a guy who could easily be showcased, or just as easily, marginalized by the degree of selfish play of his teammates. His career success is definitely dependent, to a great degree, on situation. HOU doesn't look like a good fit to me - as you described. I think he would have fit well with Fultz and Franz, but I'm completely sold on building around Paolo.
