FIBA/International Basketball Discussion

Form looks improved. Confidence is key tho. Franz has great touch arounf the rim and at the line. I think his struggles are mostly mental with the three ball

What did you think about his defense? He looked impressive on that end....not that hes a bad defender or anything but I like how active he was
 
They were talking about this on Fatboys pod so I had to go look at the story


Imagine your wife being 6 months pregnant and going swimming with sharks and also taking your 2 other kids with her

She looks dumb and Gallo probably a sucker unfortunately

Extremely underrated. Takes on the toughest assignment vs the other teams best wing/Guard on most nights. As great as Suggs is he isn’t as disciplined as Franz on that end and can get into foul trouble. Franz will lock up in one on one and off the ball threat weakside. Does a great job of fighting through screens either making it through completely or forcing the refs hand in calling an offensive foul.

I personally see him as an all nba level defender but I think he gets overshadowed due to two things in particular. One being he plays on a team full of defensive Aces and the other being he doesn’t really make a ton of highlight plays on that end ie Amen/Mobley/Suggs/Isaac.

It's so interesting to see the paths Spain and France have gone with their respective programs

France has done a really good job of keeping the pipeline strong.....Spain hasn't really been able to transition to the next era from the golden age. Like they still have talent but not top tier guys...not young dynamic point guard is killing them

Is Hugo Gonzalez playing for them?
