While this thread isnt growing like brents, I'm also sad to se franny go.

Now we will never know, if he could have shut down dirk in a playoffseries!

I think he was a class-act off the floor and I liked his athletism on the court!

Thanks for everything Francisco!

Fran, I loved your energy in the finals last year. It's like DBMethos says "we had high hopes"...

I loved his mobility and athleticism on both ends, like his ability to hit the jumper

Had a consistent early season before going out with the ankly injury, and couldn't get back going with very limited to no minutes. Took mostly bad shots when he played too after the injury, which was the opposite from what he used to do.

Really was interested to see him defend Dirk in the playoffs, with Timmy at the basket. He showed he could do it twice in the season. I loved that game at Dallas in 2006 :).

He had a fine run on a great team, and won a ring, definitely glad for him

Good-bye Cisco

Was excited about him early on and he showed some signs of life early in the season. I liked him on the floor with Gino early on...they seemed to find each other rather well. Ohh well it didn't work out. I wish him well wherever he goes.

He was frustrating to watch because I have a better understanding of basketball than him. Damn Genetics!!!

I think he was a solid player in some matchups against perimeter bigs. Elson's cluelessness on both ends of the court was his undoing. Perhaps we expected too much from this former 3rd stringer.
