Caution: he says one bad word early in the video.



Breakdown of Franz




Without watching this video I’m going to say the key to making Paolo a more efficient player will be having Paolo play with an actual real NBA POINT GUARD. Lol all jokes aside, having someone with the skill set and knowledge of putting Paolo in the right positions without the ball in his hand will help tremendously. Can’t wait to see Paolo’s reaction the first time he gets easy bask to back buckets without having to do it all himself.

Actually the Paolo one is more about what Paolo can do to be more efficient, in a nut shell, how he can simplify his offense. It's more about him taking less of his efficient shots like his midrange over 7 feet because he's makes them at such a low rate, play closer to the basket-which will help with better spacing this season, and him improving on his 3 (catch and shoot), and getting himself a baby hook shot. As for Paolo's mid-range-it would be fine if he can figure out to how to make it over 50% over both sides for him to continue taking those shots.

Georgia lost 66-76 vs Deni's Israel.

Goga played only 15 mins and had 10 pts (including 2-2 3pt!) and 8 rebs!

According to PRR, Goga has been working on his 3 ball. Used to be an ok shooter for Mega before draft but seems to have gone away. He wants it back.

That's all I got.


Goga’s been shooting 3s for Georgia for the past two summers. Not just this one.

He should’ve had the green light to shoot more 3s with us last season, but didn’t. He can develop a 3 like Vooch did, he has the range and touch. Just needs reps.


Georgia go again tonight, again behind closed doors, against Estonia.

Germany play Slovenia tomorrow. Other than the courtside1891 service, I don't think there's another way to watch.

People are sleeping on Tristan because of perceived narrative..... Got his chance and didn't play much for the rest of the season. But for a rookie .... He did great when he was a starter by rookie standards. No matter what ... He's still a rookie.... And there is a ramping up even IF he was 23 at the time. I think he will be an integral part of the bench lineup.... And will get a great opportunity to be a Franz verylite type of player.... And that to me is great to have. The Tyus jones signing will help the bench "get in line" and players might flourish more

Does anyone know if Tristan made the team? He was in their training camp roster but what is Germany’s final roster?

Can't wait to see how Franz transforms himself this offseason. The organic growth from Orlando stars can really lift this team up to another level, even contending in the East. Anything is possible. And we are not that far away from NYK and Cleveland.

Im way too excited for this season man that it scares me. Seasons almost never go the way I expect them to pan out.

But I legit think we're going to the finals. I like our healthy team vs any one in the East. I cant wait for the season to start. I hope to go to the home opener.

Georgia lost yesterday to Estonia.

Goga has a minor leg injury, which probably explains only 15 mins against Israel and he didn't play at all vs Estonia. Presumably precautionary.

Germany Slovenia this evening (20.15 European time). None of Schroeder, Theis or Lo will play for Germany so heavy load on Franz....

Regarding Franz’s hitch, he oddly didn’t have it when shooting last second threes or with guys closing out on him. His shot looked great in that tweet but I want too see him taking wide open threes

That and it didn’t show on step-backs. So we’ll see.

Final rosters are not submitted until a few days before the tourney starts (27th). Tristan should make it unless he’s awful in these friendlies.
Tristan and Franz should both play in Slovenia tonight (2:15 pm US Eastern).
Germany’s MagentaSport is showing all games again, but I don’t know if they’ll be free with a VPN or if they’re charging now (that would suck).
Hopefully there will be streams assuming Luka also plays.

calf strain? better not play on that.....if it follows the trend then if he plays on it after having a calf strain then Achilles is in danger
