How is it that a nation with so much talent as France has no competent playmaking guards?

Their defence is also pretty terrible for a team with Wemby and Gobert.

If I'm a cat like Kris Dunn, I'm on the phone right now trying to get French citizenship and a signing bonus to play for France. They need any guard help they can get.

That he is not. The only question mark is his 3pt shot. Dude is a winner and is fiery.

Wagner's right at that age, early 20s, where he could blossom into a legit great player if he keeps improving. Skilled, versatile, 6-10 ... if he can fix his shot he's going to be major trouble.

If you want to try to measure the elements of basketball that are supposedly unmeasurable, spend a game just watching Marc Gasol.

Just 17 yo but if our "coach" was clever, he'll have made the team...

That Franz dunk was absolutely nasty after breaking the press from Batum.
