Franz Wagner's awful awesome season... and what comes next

Franz Wagner had an incredible season. . . if you ignore his shooting and that Game 7 performance. How do we make sense of a season that was a career year by any measure but featured a major regression in his most important skill as a 3-point shooter and a frustrating showing in the biggest game of the season.

All I saw initially was Franz Wagner’s “awful” season and I was like what the hell? Lol. You’re right though. His shot went to hell for some reason. Still, I was at game four of the first round and you could tell that he can evolve into a true #2 in the future. He completely took over that game. As many have said, you can’t teach size.

[@yuningcao]

Personal opinion Franz shouldn’t run the offense. He is a lot better playing off ball. I feel like we really should get a pg and let Franz focus on his offense

[@yoyojw28]

Im picking him up in all my fantasy leagues ... Cuz i trust that hes the type of player that will beat himself up in evolution over the summer!

[@albertoo428]

He just has to fix his shooting mechanics

[@aaronlewis6653]

He needs more counter moves when teams stop his euro move he doesn’t kno what to do next

[@dsaturdayfwight7516]

he has until the trade deadline to fix his shooting or hes done dont see how u can be a max player without the ability to shoot

[@laflamablanca-kh4xv]

Please trade him to the pacers

[@jefferyrandall8030]

Magic fans love to find things wrong wuth thier players. Franz is good.

[@LockedOnMagic]

I agree! But we can't deny he struggled from three this year and it was a big deal.

[@SeanWilliams-ds3fl]

Franz is a number 3 not 2

[@nahyoulyin]

you dont know basketball

[@SeanWilliams-ds3fl]

Franz didn't have a really good season

[@nahyoulyin]

yes he did

[@jefferyrandall8030]

​@@nahyoulyinLike I'm not sure where this "bad" season talk coming from.
