Even worst, Oscar, Tristan’s brother #7 have the same built.

Oh boy I love you guys! I’m so excited for this upcoming season and when eurobasket is going on, it means we’re getting closer to training camp. Thanks to all who posted updates and highlights.

Movement/Flow 3s he wasn't having a problem with. It was those stationary ones. Hopefully those have more fluidity to those.

Franz slashing thru the defense is a thing of beauty. Sometimes you forget this is a 6’10 guy doing this.

Yeah...just a "gangsta roll" :lol:

Im just imagining... does he have the capacity to have a Giannis build?

Franz is like 6'11 already and fluid. He is too big for 90% of the SF in the league while being as fast as them, now if he can do the same to the PFs... wow

Watching Giannis under FIBA rules is hilarious. He is just center who gets away with billion shoves, pushes, travels. When refs treat him like normal player, he looks like a**. Jokić just rolls with giant burek before game, gets you 23 points, 19 rebounds on 8-14 FG in 27 min and can't wait to go back to watch his horses.
