They said Chris Webber shouldn’t play with Shaq so they traded him for Penny + picks

If Larry played in today's era, he'd shoot 15 threes a game :lol:

Is this anything or is it just a White Elephant?

Franz up to 9th in EPM league-wide.

The players ahead of him
Joker
Shai
Luka
Embiid
Tatum
Giannis
Curry
Spida

Rarified air. Like discovering an elephant on the top of Everest.

I feel really ashamed. At the beginning of the thread I wrote that Franz is better than 3 Anfernee Simons. Biggest understatement of the year. Really embarrassing. :lol:

Do elephants have massive balls? This one seems to.

Jamahl Mosley said his message to Franz Wagner was “be uncomfortable”: “He wants to do all of the right things. Sometimes, taking tough shots is not always a thing he wants to do. He just wants to make the right play. Sometimes those tough shots are exactly what this team needs.”

Interesting quote on turning Franz from efficient player to number 1 option.

I honestly think that Franz didn’t know how good he really was, until now. He believes now.

So, how good is Franz? Legit question.

Like Neo in the Matrix he's the one.

I always knew. When he was a rookie and he had that massive performance in Minnesota (including poster on KAT) I knew eventually he would become a star/allstar.

The German Elephant is a great nickname

He's definitely a 1b.

The only people that should be worried about Franz are the opposition.

Since Paolo got hurt, Franz has a 31.8 USG%.

25.4 PPG, 6.2 RPG, 6.4 APG, 1.8 SPG, 2.2 TOV.

Numbers look good, but what does that mean?

I’m extremely curious to see how things play out when Paolo returns.

Hard to realistically have two 31-32 USG guys unless literally everyone else is just standing around.
