Franz is off to a great start. 15 points and perfect from the field (1-1 from 3). Early 2nd quarter.

*Still waiting on official stats but Franz finished with 29 points and didn’t miss many shots from what I saw. Germany defeats Spain.

If that shot is still broken, we may have to have Franz play more point-forward and hope that Paolo becomes a knock-down 3-point shooter. Paolo passing it out to an open Franz scares the hell out of me. Franz passing it out to an open Paolo does not.

That's fair can't say it's not, what tends to give me faith is he has shot decent before and his free throw percentage is high enough for me to hope he gets it right, I think he's shooting mid to high 80's in fiba.... Just needs reps

Through 6 games I believe Franz per36 is 29/5/4 with 1.4 steals.... That's with him not shooting well from 3

Was Franz laying it up? That’s his biggest offensive strength is he’s a layup artist first and foremost.

Bring him home!!!!

Seriously, seeing Vuc like that reminded me of our dark years before blowing it up... he was doing all he can with scrubs.

So we still suck at 3pt shooting.... some things never change...

I miss his eurostep. He didn’t do it a ton this season. His eurostep is easy to see coming. Everyone knows he’s trying to get to the rim but no one can stop him.
