Well deserved in a crazy impressive rookie class. Franz is probably the best surprise this team has had in a decade.

What's impressive is nit so much the raw stats but the efficiency behind the stats:
Fg-47%
3point-40%
Free throws- 89%
With splid defense to go with that. I hope this kid can just continue to.get better and improve. He already has a solid foundation. Go job franz pleasant surprise for me this year.

Well earned, now keep it up. Rough game followed by a good one against Chicago is a great sign. Keep going until the rookie wall.

Hampton won it in May of last season after averaging 16.0 PPG, 7.1 RPG and 5.6 APG in 30.2 MPG while shooting 45.7% FG and 43.5% 3PT.

But it was also only in 8 games compared to 14 for Franz.

He's proving me wrong. I'll call him a stiff again to keep letting him prove me wrong.
