Really tough I think. Franz played the bigger role offensively but I think AB excelled in his limited offensive role and was stellar defensively so I'm giving him the knod.

As much as I want to give it to AB, Franz was dominant and key to fending off PHX’s last run.

I don't know how anyone can advocate for WCJ over Goga. Goga just obviously clears.

Franz Wagner has been playing fantastic and like an sure all star. Him hitting those 3s is huuuge. It just opens the floor so much more for the entire team. Also, the added muscle is another big reason Franz has taken next step. He is finishing in the paint and taking contact in ways he could not 2-3 years ago.

Gotta be Franz still. Shoutout to AB, though. Really strong all-around game from him.

Also a tip of the cap to the guys that held Booker in check (Suggs/KCP/AB mostly)

He was top 5-10 the last 2 years already in finishing drives in the NBA. He is a elite finisher but yea the added strength helps him even more.

Who you vote for kind of depends on what you think the vest is for. Most of the time I go for who I think was the best player on the day.

Franz is still a better player than AB by a good distance and showed against the Sun's every bit of his skillset.

But if you're looking at the vest for a performance where a player showed a whole new level and maybe opened the door to a new era for his team, you have to give it to Black. There was some Wow in there, moments i even wondered if the Magic might have a PG in its roster.....

The correct answer!

This game had a load of lollipops: Caldwell-Pope, Suggs, Isaac, and M-Wagner.

I voted Franz for the vest but in reality you could cut my vote in half for Black / Franz. But because I absolutely have too...

Franz
Black
Goga

I really dislike the idea of career highs from Black not being vest worthy. The reality is, I think this will eventually become his norm. Next time he does it, I don't think we ignore it. Even if Franz goes off for 60 points.

TDS needs some love too! Shot 1-5.... But you can see his confidence shifting and he is being more intentional on the court! 6 assists.... I'll take that with his solid and growing defense.
