I’m sorry, did I miss where Franz dragged this team to the playoffs while Paolo was out? They’re both really good and they arrive at similar numbers in different ways. They can & will be so much better when they develop better chemistry and that’ll come with time and,especially, supporting players. Comparing them head to head is really fruitless and, honestly, pretty stupid).

You can apply advanced stats any way you want to get anywhere you want if you try hard enough. Tyus Jones’ efficiency and Bamba’s per 36 #’s put them both in your hall of fame, while Bird & Iverson ride the pine.

Both true and untrue. Nobody on this forum should disagree that Franz is a positive player.

I see it both ways. Both of their numbers are majorly nerfed with 3/4 best offensive player being out. At this point, I feel like I am beating a dead horse.

Franz gets nerfed because his brother is out.

Paolo gets nerfed because his main shooter is out, his main defender is out.

This isn't hard.

Both are positive impact players with Paolo being admittedly behind on defense and IMHO has stopped caring in an effort to score more.

Except Franz isn't really being nerfed?

His NET rating is still positive since he returned even though the team has completely imploded since early January.
