For Franz i mean Bottom line his jumper is the key, If he's able to get his jumper more ingrained into his game not just catch and shoot he's got to be able to do it off the dribble and he can but he has to take that facet of his game to the next level.....Otherwise teams can just load up the paint and take you out of the game

shocking that more people comment on game of Germany than US vs Serbia game, that is way more shocking half time.

Franz has flaws of course, he's not a guy that's going to be a top 10 NBA player at any point in his career. But I feel like a very bizarre and unfair level of scrutiny has developed around him amongst general NBA followers. Like come on, he's a legitimately good player, he's still very young, and nobody is claiming he's elite anyway, so where is this coming from.
11/18/2017 - I have officially disowned Nikola Vucevic and branded him a loser.

- Skal Labissiere was my guy in 2016 pre-trade. Whoops, but I still believe.
- Malik Monk was my guy in 2017. Whoops(?)
- Mo Bamba was my guy in 2018. TBD.

What a joke, having to give a passport to embiid to reach the final

You cant convince ne otherwise... GER had a 10pt lead and was about to blow it wide open then all of a sudden some questionable calls happened to tie it all up

The contract he got is going to raise the expectations and it should. People don't believe he deserves the contract. Alot of those people didn't watch him as much as we all did. If you only saw a handful of our games and the playoffs then I completely get why that contract would look funny.

Just watched the replay and disgusted.

France absolutely outplayed them, and deserved to win today but for them to medal is kind of despicable. They were awful until last game.

Also doesnt help that I dislike a lot of French players lol

One thing Franz absolutely needs to work on, is playing against ball pressure. He plays scared vs good defense and freezes with ball pressure. Not good honestly

Curry with 36 points on ~22 possessions used is insane efficiency and volume

Comment here? Because we are all on Team Wagner. I mean I comment more on GER/WagnerBros rather than CAN...Its also easier to cheer/support someone thats actually a nice human being rather than Ledouce/Lehypocrite just because he plays for your country.

Yeah.. in GB they are calling him " Elimination Game Franz" when he stinks it up in do-or-dies

That can only be cure by experience. Once he keeps getting a taste in desperate/pressure-filled possesions, he will know what to do in time.

Yup... they cant believe we have 2(two) rookie contract guys already doing what they are doing both in the league and in international exposure.

Imagine how many timea MJ and LBJ stunk it up in their early years in the playoffs...

France was one horrendously bad phantom foul call on a 4 point play against Japan away from not even getting out of group play.
