Captain 24 Report post Posted December 29, 2021 Hi everyone. I haven’t been on here much since the season hasn’t really been to great. However, I’ve been keeping up with box scores and is Franz really playing that good? Or is it more so of being on a bad team? What’s your thoughts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Natesroom 197 Report post Posted December 29, 2021 I cant figure out how to find highest scoring games by a rookie (Magic Only) I was wondering where the 38pts by franz ranks on the list of records by a rookie in our uniform. Where is the best site to use to find this kind of information? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WeltHam have nailed him that is for sure! I would bet my house Franz is at minimum a all star. I think he could be generational. Time will tell. This was a lot of: “How do you want it??” from 3, finger roll, pull up, hesi, lefty, post up, step back, pump & drive, fast break. The kid is RIDICULOUS!! Tune in and watch the games. Ain't you fan??? looooooooool 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I also think we have quite a few talented young players with a lot of potential in Cole, WCJ, Chuma, and (hopefully) Jalen Suggs. Whether or not Fultz and Isaac still qualify really depends on their recovery, which in Isaac's case makes me very nervous. Bamba, who knows?!? The biggest question to me is do we have the leadership to put them all together and make a cohesive team that plays together? That doesn't just fall on the coaching staff, but on the guys on the court as well. All the young guys seem to be getting along and like each other, but the question of who will step up to lead is still in the air. It isn't just who can score points, but who can command respect and hold others accountable. I've seen flashes of that ability from Fultz, and Cole. I think if we ever get healthy, we could be very dangerous, but the leadership will make all the difference. Actually I think it could be Suggs. Guy is a tremendous competitor.

Even though it's hard to talk about the Magic this year, we are heading in the right direction...finally. Nothing could have saved the last core we made too many mistakes, way too many. Not getting that number 3 pick in 2018 doomed us and then our slight resurgence led to mediocrity. I got excited as soon as the Vucevic trade went down and even though i knew we won that trade then, boy is it looking good now. Listen we are going to lose a ton of games this year but trust me it won't last long. I'm not worried about Suggs at all, when he is finally healthy and playing well everyone will say i never doubted him. Add that all the other young players we have including this summers draft pick. I'm telling you, a couple of players will blow up and surprise you. I'm just including everyone to shorten this post. We finally have a ton of guys with talent, now you might question how much talent but once Bamba is gone this group is way past the project players we had in the past. I'm even going to include Isaac and Fultz because i'm sure they are starters if healthy. If not, still not worried, the contracts they signed are super cheap once the cap starts rising again next season. Future is bright and we just have to deal with this season, which sucks anyway. Imagine having a contender this supremely screwed up season. Magic are going to be good again right when the league says goodbye to alot of players i'm frankly over with. Kyrie,Harden,Durant lol so sick of them all can't believe they are in the same team. Can't wait until Lebron retires, sick of hearing about the Lakers. I continue to bet we win less than 30 next year. I’ve been hearing about potential for a decade now. Won’t believe it until I see it. There’s also more to winning than just talent. Teamwork and coaching are also important. We aren’t looking great in those departments either. It’s harder to flip the switch and go from bottom feeder to winner than many of you think. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Natesroom 197 Report post Posted December 30, 2021 i thought we should have taken scottie barnes so I'm ok with this, though Franz was not on my list. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
