Franz is looking good from that class. I don't think he'll ever take enough 3s or draw enough free throws to be a star, but I'm at peace with that because he's very, very, very good already and continues to add more to his game. Some of the sophomores still look pretty rough around the edges. I guess I'd take Mobley over him and deal with the positional overlap with Paolo. I think I'd take Green because this team hasn't had a dynamic guard scorer in ages, but he seems like a bit of a knucklehead, and the lows are pretty low. Other than that, I think I'm placing my bets with Franz. If Cade, Barnes, and Giddey turn into stars eventually then I'll tip my hat to them.

I'm not betting on them though, and I'm damn sure not going to say it on the General Board.


This brings up a good question, maybe even a thread at some point. What is Franz's ceiling?

Too dumb of a question for me to be honest. It’s why there are 6 rookies each year that people think can be a top 10 player. Too silly for me to consider.

I think the only interesting question for Franz is can he be our second best player or does he need to be the third best? It somewhat informs what kind of guard we need to go after, either a star or just a good player.
