The Ringer Top 100 isn't as high on Franz as everyone else (2 spots behind Austin Reaves :lol:) but I really liked this blurb:

And here’s a fun game to play at home: When watching Wagner highlights, keep an eye on Banchero in the same frame. If Paolo isn’t directly involved with the play, he is almost always deeply enthused by whatever Wagner just did. He knows that as Franz goes, he goes.

Kinda crazy to think that Franz may someday be the best basketball player in German history.

My favorite Paolo attribute is his leadership. He is the perfect franchise player.
