Definitely no tear or fracture. MRI results were sent to Germany for final analysis of damage. No World Cup ending injury, but it's unclear if Franz is able to play against Australia.

German team doctor (alomost literally) wrote: Orlando Magics athletics trainer is present and we won't take any risks. If it is reasonable, he will definitely play. Orlando is relatively relaxed about it.

(according to German sports news web page)

Ah.... wanted to see Franz against AUS... it would have been a battle for the ages. Bensational's boy Giddey vs my boy Mo... I mean Franz. Lol

Goga had 15 and 11 in 20 minutes against a completely overmatched Cape Verde team. He plays with good energy.

I really hope Paolo’s Fiba free throw shooting doesn’t carry over to the regular season.

Hope his defense carries over though. Been very engaged on that end.

Banchero as C at Fiba level is basically illegal.
(in two-three years could be at nba level also,but that is another story...)

big,strong,fast,gets ft,could shot a bit,smart on short roll and at passing in general and opponents in WC are not quick as nba players.

Banchero has a better arch in his outside shot. Hope achip engelland is taking care of his shot

Scored 8 straight points now

Paolo playing really well. Leading the team in scoring on 80% shooting but thats not the best part. Best part is his defense, 4 blocks, closing out on shooters, switching onto smaller players and keeping them contained. Also on offense when he doesnt have the ball, he's setting very solid screens on the same possession. He's the game's MVP.

I am incredibly impressed with Banchero’s 4 blocked shots! Played great defense. Good job kid.

This is exactly why paolo is the real deal. He show up when it matter. This is why I don't take guys like Edward's, Ingram and Jackson Jr serious.
