LaVar 108 Report post Posted May 29, 2022 7 hours ago, Nyce_1 said: who will be better: Paolo or Franz? You know what franz can do because he played a year, but I do think that Paolo has a bigger bag of offensive moves, because he can post up and he has great foot work on the block. Franz is the better defender and spot up shooter. Paolo has the alpha mind set on offense so Paolo will be the better go to scorer, because franz is fine with just being a 2nd or 3rd option. In the end, they can play together so it does not matter - unless you think that franz or fultz is your superstar so you want an ultra skilled role player in Smith. I thought franz should have had the ball in his hands 100,000 more times last year. I personally think we can have our version of Boston with J. Brown and Tatum - having both Franz and Paolo respectively. To not dodge the question, I think Paolo has the higher upside and I am building around him, so Paolo is projected to be better for me, but I like Franz a lot. I just wish he demanded the ball in his hands more. Franz was our best closer last year and I would love to see Paolo and Franz Pick and rolls... OMG... Paolo is the type of player that will put fans in the seats. I cannot say that for the other players - outside of Ivey and sharp. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I personally see Franz in the mold of vintage Gordon Hayward, but I’ll take the Brown comp! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All training PR replies. She asked him specifically about Orlando and did he wanna be the first pick…I would have at least said something positive like “yeah Orlando has a nice nucleus can’t wait to get down there and work out” . Chet is considered a candidate for the top pick …never heard a guy who is considered a candidate not say “I wanna be the top guy” …I mean sheesh …who wouldn’t wanna be the top pick in the league lol …seemed to me he was worried about the fit in Orlando and quite frankly so am I …Everybody saying Issac is not dependable …like he isn’t even a part of the team anymore …while Jonathan saying he’s ready to go …others saying he could have played but the tank was on …I don’t see any world where Holmgren and Issac would be happy platooning …and I didn’t watch the team much but most people here say WCJ has the 5 on lockdown …Isaac was a DPOY candidate his last season …don’t him and Chet kinda do the same things ? Anyway, I think it’s all a mute point …Givony saying NBA execs telling him Orlando wants Smith …also way to much negativity about Chet from the fan base imo and that is relevant …Chet has a lot of support but there are also a lot of naysayers …just like on this message board Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If that’s the case, I’m sure we can trade a future first and one of our core players for that pic without Harrison Barnes, unless the kings are looking to offload Harrison Barnes and his contract, which case we would happily take it on since we have so much cap room. John Collins is good (I’ve been watching him as he went to my alma mater in WFU), but he’s not #4 pick good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
