@ You obviously haven’t watched enough Magic games to comprehend the evolution of Franz’s game in the last few years. I have been following the NBA since the 70s when the Knicks last won a championship, so l believe l have a more accurate comprehension of what the future holds for Franz. 🤔👍🏻
Having 4 dudes over 6”10 in a lineup would be crazy😂. I think it’d make more sense to put maybe bojan in over wemby and have wemby be the backup center

I think that's Dirk bearing fruit here. A lot of German kids got inspired to play because of him and also Schröder to some extent. It's fun to see a couple German names on the NBA now.
Just imagine Golden State drafted this guy. He was linked to them on draft night and was even discussing with media on how good a fit he'd be there. And if they drafted Lamelo the year before then that Golden State Dynasty could have been extended for another decade
@@thomaswestendorf9213 I'm sure they just saw an elite big man as the missing piece of their puzzle. throughout the Warriors run they never really had a paint presence who could exploit the ridiculous amount is spacing they create. They were in a unique situation in that their owners were happy to pay the ridiculous amount of luxury tax while the top guys were injured and let them be a lottery team. So one of the best teams ever had a chance to grab some high draft picks and they really fumbled the bag. Melo is a future superstar and the crazy part was that Kuminga was the Timberwolves pick as part of the DLo trade so even if Melo came in and made GS a playoff team they'd have still had that number 7 pick the following draft and could have taken Wagner 🤯 And quite honestly they could have both ended up starting pretty early on. They could have quickly transitioned into a Melo, Steph, Wagner new big 3 and maybe created a new dynasty. Just imagine those three together right now.
Our 3 Germans are gonna lit the league on fire this year! Be prepared America. Biggest issue Franz is facing is Paolo Banchero. Luckily the Magic players don't seem to care but Banchero being American gets all of the hype and it is disrespectful towards Franz in my opinion. Paolo is the better Scorer, Franz the better playmaker and defensively slightly better. I consider them to be the Perfect Duo on equal footing but the NBA loves to have it a Batman and Robin type story where the US player is carrying...
Its relative. I mean explosive relative to other NBA athletes. What makes him so good athletically is his combination of size, deceleration and coordination. Hes a great athlete dont get me wrong im just saying he's not Amen Thompson or Jonathan Kuminga kind of explosive
@@amjan Explosive is not the only answer to being able to dominate your opponent. Franz can go inside or outside with his shot and his Euro step is starting to really show the weakness of some defensive players in the league.
@@fab9727 i dont know much about basketball, but i recognize a strong core, when i see one. His body is stable the hole time, even after contact, thats allows him to take this shots.

boogie has been incredible once the beast gets back hopefully he can keep this going but man we've got the two best young forwards in the league so happy for the magic
You could see it at Michigan. The defense, ball handling and passing skills were part of his game. Rare combination of skill with size makes him the steal of the draft.
@@Richxwolf maaannn I agree. We missed out on a lot. I'm glad we are doing great this season with the players we do have, which I honestly didn't see coming. Lol but I'm happy
This team next season will really push the Celtics in the East 2 super big strong wings who have superstar potential very strong defensively team. Wouldn’t be surprised if they beat the Celtics in the 2026 playoffs.
Let's go magics!! People keep forgetting about them when talking about young team with potential.. it's always thunders and rockets and spurs..magic is here!!
I grew up with Detlef the Supersonic, then came Dirk the GOAT and now we are World Champions and our Boys are ruling in da NBA. A story for my grandchildren: WE GERMANS CAN BALL.
Wagners defense is Foul You cant touch the oponent this much And Hes Not touching in direction of the ball Hes touching the Arms As Long as the refs wont call IT , Hes git a good tactic But usually thats Just Fouls If you watch IT Hes also pushing the arm away Not Just touching If Hes goung tomtze direction of the ball , then OK IT can Happen But Like this you need to now how to shoot But thats only my opinion because the scenes picked here
Franz and Mo are just great dudes. Wonder though why no one is rooting for Dennis "the Menace" Schröder. He was after all the MVP of the 2023 world championship tournament
I still wish he didn't absolutely choke against UCLA in the Elite 8, but then we probably wouldn't have gotten the Jalen Suggs half-court game winner (that's my cope).
If you let a German win a WorldCup, confidence is increased tenfold Basketball in Germany is one the rise, there will be another Nowitzki and Franz looks like he could be it
You'll see how the NBA will handle the situation, that European players are making problems.. They will simply stopp letting them play in the NBA for some reason.. You will see
How you butcher “Franz” is out of this world. “Franz” isn't the same as “France”, “Franz” has a short pronounced A, think of it like “friends”, but with an A.
Not to mention his older brother, Mo, who's been a monster off the bench defensively and scoring 12+ consistently.
Yeahhhh...

Than you as always!
Let's go Franz!
Yessirrrr
Franz is a complete package. Maybe a modern Detlef Schrempf
LOL. Why Detlef? He plays like LeBron James.
What a terrible comp, their games have nothing in common
Both germans😂
They both like schnitzel😂@@alitoroganan2442

Chill bro
@ If you can’t see the future with the vision of today you will be blind forever!
Facts
@@louisrosario9522dirk never had Paolo or that roster and coach ...🔥✨️
@ That’s okay because Franz at this age is year ahead of the curve and is only going to get better!👍🏻
Im german so I thought he was quit good before this season 😂
He IS already a superstar, it just didn't make it to the US.. yet
he's very graceful 🏀
Then there is his brother who is once again putting up 6MOY numbers on the table.
he can become a faster, more skilled and more playmaking type Dirk
Thanks for the analysis.
more athletic luka..
luka just manages the game better
Franz is a better team player, got much better defense then luka
Go magic ❤ #magiccityboys
His 3 point stroke reminds me of Peja Stojaković
Franz is what people wanted ben simmons to be
Been waiting for this video
Lakers definitely bad a Franz Wagner problem 🤣
Franz a baller man str8 outta UofM〽️💙
THE WHITE JEREMY LIN.(JK)
Good video man :) go magic
this just seems so german to always drive and take the „easy“ shots around rim instead of midrange jumpers or stuff like that
It’s November right?
Wagners defense is Foul
You cant touch the oponent this much
And Hes Not touching in direction of the ball
Hes touching the Arms
As Long as the refs wont call IT , Hes git a good tactic
But usually thats Just Fouls
If you watch IT Hes also pushing the arm away Not Just touching
If Hes goung tomtze direction of the ball , then OK IT can Happen
But Like this you need to now how to shoot
But thats only my opinion because the scenes picked here
Franz and Mo are just great dudes. Wonder though why no one is rooting for Dennis "the Menace" Schröder. He was after all the MVP of the 2023 world championship tournament
Gs should've drafted this guy😂😂😂
Remember when he clanked in the NCAA Tourny? He got lucky the other night.
Timing over Speed...its smooth
Paolo and Franz are more effective on the games when the ball in their hands, the problem is there is only one ball for the game.
they both can play off-ball, Franz's off-ball is elite...
That is precisely not the case. Franz is absolutely elite off the ball.
Paolo Bantchero 🤔
Franz has the opporchunity to be very good
Abcholutly
BanCHAIRo 😅
Bangkero
Fraaanz
Hi 6man, nice vid
Hey ani, nice comment
The Lakers game was an eye opener..
5:42 😭😭😭

I am tired of 7footers doin the step back and shoot 23 feet plus.
Jokic is so ahead controlling every square inch of the court
Rickman Rips "gefällt das"
Well, he is current world champion.
I still wish he didn't absolutely choke against UCLA in the Elite 8, but then we probably wouldn't have gotten the Jalen Suggs half-court game winner (that's my cope).
he needs to do more of those before getting lauded like this, too soon
If I see another title like that i´m going insane
I genuinely think he is better than Scottie, the magic drafting has been amazing.
Now im definitely wishing warriors picked him over kuminga
jakob poeltl may also deserve a video
6:12 7foot. That’s allmost 13 ellbow
Le'Blonde James :D i love it
Second best player on a world cup winning team.
