Luke_FfS 249 Report post Posted January 11 Actually, a short period of rest could be a good news for Franz, as the world championship + full NBA season was going to eventually take a toll later. If only the other rotation guys would be available... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
All Eyes On Me 1,212 Report post Posted January 11 8 hours ago, orlandoholic said: Ehh not going to happen. It’s the Olympics in France. No way anybody, especially from Germany would turn that down. Those players have a special commitment 5 years ago. There is also beef because of the players that didn’t want to give that commitment and now want to jump on the bandwagon. Players like Kleber or Hartenstein. They will probably not be invited because of that. Oh the Olympics is an obvious exception, I just mean the annual FIBA play he does all summer. I love that he loves ball, but I don’t wanna see him burnt out or injured from pushing himself too hard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Luckily he comes back quickly and was able to play by the end of the tournament Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Luckily he comes back quickly and was able to play by the end of the tournament That’s why i said his ankles are definitely not made of glass. The dude cuts, eurosteps and plays in the paint through contact like crazy. Injuries are going to happen. But Franz rolls his ankle so often but is never severely injured. That said, for his career it would have been great to take a summer off, work on his game. Franz still lacks counter moves. He’d be damn unstoppable if he start using that floater again and if he’d learn how to score middies out of the pick and roll. But i get it. Last years tournament was in germany, it would have been crazy if he sat out. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All Eyes On Me 1,212 Report post Posted January 11 Getting Ingles back is huge. I’m nervous about Franz, the injury looked gnarly and there hasn’t been a ton of updates since outside of what grade ankle sprain he’s dealing with Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Once he gets a feel for playmaking, he’s gonna be unstoppable. Oh lord, if he ever gets some of that Doncic IQ and Vision. Just a tad of that lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A Better DJ & Photographer 461 Report post Posted January 12 I love Fultz, Harris, and WCJ, but IMO we need to package some or all of them with some picks to get a durable starting PG that can shoot 3s. I'm happy with Goga starting and Mo off the bench. AB is gonna be great but he needs to develop more before he takes over the reins. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hear me out - we have the salary cap and the young assets, and we just need 1-2 years for AB to get up to speed while competing with a PG right now. I think we make a run at Chris Paul, whom is the veteran locker room presence that elevates everyone else's game when on the floor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
