Franz needs to develop a 3-pt shot.

I don't want to see us play a top 5 team right now. This team just can't get out of it's own way lately. Luckily, we've kept winning but something has to give with the recent play.

Did you forget his second year? He had a middy, for whatever reason he got rid of that and the euro it seems... Its either a 3 or a straight line drive, his game was more complex.... Maybe he "over-simplified" his game in year 3?

It's never good to look like you're on a B2B on the first game of a B2B.

Franz feeling like he was snubbed ASG appearance?

Thats rather shortsighted.

I feel like Franz numbers are saved because he goes on great streaks here and there, but overall he has struggled a lot of the times this season. He's getting way more attention this season, so it makes sense. He's too smart he'll get over it eventually.

Would anyone trade Franz on draft day for a shooter such as Reed Sheppard?

Franz seems to play better without Banchero.

I can't comprehend how it just completely disappeared from his game. That plus his 'reworked' 3pt shot is puzzling. He shot 36% from deep last year.

Not a chance. You can't gamble Franz on a rookie when you already have Paolo.

I’d put up Franz for the right return, 100%.

Past few games some things have stood out to me.

Franz isnt creating much on the ball, mostly looking for his own shot in attempts to get out of this slump and it isnt working out

Suggs is turning down way too many open/somewhat open 3 pt opportunities

He's still young but Franz is so inconsistent and with his extension looming, the front office has work to do!

If we had more depth, we could cut Franz ' minutes. He still looks fatigued to me.

They just need to stop overcomplicating things. Pass to the open guy, shoot the open shots. Stop getting cute and passing open shots and then jump passing to someone not expecting the pass.
