The three point shooting is a real problem.

His shooting form looks good even though it is little flat, soon or later the ball will drop and he will get his 3’s back.

18 PTS, 3 REB, 2 AST, 3 STL, 8-17 FG, 7-11 2PT, 1-6 3PT, 1-2 FT for Franz in a game-high 37 minutes.

He's been awesome the entire Olympics thus far.

FIBA Patty > Stateside Patty

He's like Schroder with the German team. You put that Australia jersey on Mills and his power level goes over 9000.

Greece played great defense against Franz, and Giannis was easily the best player on the court. In the end though, Franz and Schroeder did just enough and the roleplayers were great on offense. They also completely shut down the Greeks outside of Giannis.

France upsets Canada. Gobert barely played as the French coach decided to make some changes. Yabusle, Cordinier and Lessort played well, specifically in the first half. Fournier hit some big shots in the last few minutes.

Franz will face France once again on Thursday

Gobert has weaknesses that can be exploited.

Franz and Germany are probably the favorites to win silver at this point.

They are working our boy like a pack mule. The Giannis treatment!!!

Yeah that 1-6 shooting though... if that was Cole on the MAgic there would be 3 trade threads , 1 fire coach thread and 1 move the team thread.

Cole only scores so if he isn’t making a basket he is a negative.

Hearing about Jamal Murrays struggles is exciting in a year we want to see Denvers downfall.

Murray struggling. Their rookie that can contribute getting injured. Uncertainty of Westbrook's fit...

The Karma scales would tip back and gift DEN with some good vibes when the season starts.

One thing I noticed, and it started late in the season, is that Franz is way more animated and "rude" on the court. I think his brother and Joe Ingles rubbed off on him. :lol:
