I still find it hilarious that Franz went from glue guy rotation player on draft night to our emergency backup point guard scoring 27 points against the Heat. I watched his highlights and immediately started chuckling at how absurd it all is.

It's surreal. He is ridiculously good and crazy versatile at the same time.

I kept on saying that our 8th pick would be better than our 5th pick because we are the Magic... but is it foresight and skill by our FO in getting Franz or they just lucked the heck out like how the lucked in getting Giannis?

Well we know WeHam were targeting Franz so they meant to draft him so credit due there but let's be honest they had no idea he would be anywhere this good, in their defense neither did us fans. Franz may save their jobs.

Not fair to go there...every pick depends on a combo of luck and skill (good or bad on both), so what's done is done...Just like they must be blamed for misses, full credit for their big hit on Franz (and Giannis).

Bear in mind though.. when i said our 8th pick would.be bettet thab our 5th pick because that's just the Magic... it was widely assumed our 5th would have been Kuminga/Barnes while our 8th was bOuknight/Moody.
So yeah...kinda a joke..
