    Calling me out and forcing me to respond lol …this won’t be popular and yeah UK guards in the NBA rule haha.

    Watch our offense when he’s in the game …the D pays absolutely no attention to him …what do you think that means for Franz and Banchero ? Yeah, he’s hit some 3’s and even got loose on some back doors …but again he’s largely ignored …he’s not explosive …so yeah if you wanna keep playing him cause he makes good decisions and passes well doesn’t turn it over go for it …we honestly don’t have a choice right now …but I think once NBA teams put the screws down defensively we are in trouble .

    And honestly …do you really wanna play the entire season …a crucial season in which we need to make the playoffs …with a rookie PG ?

    Yes. He's the best option for the role after Fultz, which is why he was drafted.


  2. Yeah, he wanted Wallace. Talented kid, but I think AB has the higher upside. Utah was trying to trade up with Detroit to jump in front of us to draft him. He would've been a perfect fit in Utah, and would've won the starting job out of training camp. The kid just makes the right play majority of the time. That pass to Isaac to close out the half last game was beautiful. He has a nice floater, too. I would like to see him attack the paint more because he can take advantage of the attention Paolo and Franz gets. I feel he's our best guard around the rim, outside of Fultz. He needs to showcase more of that part of his game.

    What I don't like about Cole is he tries to be too cute with the ball and turns it over. He also throws up wild contested shots under the basket (surrounded by several opponents).

    This. The guy could be a really solid player if he just realize his role. He seems to think he's back at UNC, where he was the guy.

    To be fair Paolo won us the game in Utah with his go ahead layup.  He is also distributing the ball much better this year as he is leading the team in assists.  He is far from a selfish player.  Franz is the guy in my opinion that needs to step up.  He is shooting under 40% from the field and has the same percentage as Paolo from three.  He also is leading the team in shot attempts.  Paolo hasn't attempted more than 18 shots in a game so far.  I love both but want to be fair as neither have had a great start to the year.  

    Yeah, I agree. Franz has been playing selfish basketball since preseason. He hasn't passed to nobody outside of his brother, and I loved their connection, but he has to get other involve, too. He's been forcing a lot of shot so far this season. The 28 shots against the Lakers was crazy. I don't even think he went to the line much that game, which is even crazier.
