Franz has proven he can be the best player on a playoff team. He’s a legit all star. And….. he’s the 2nd best player on the team. The Magic have a BRIGHT future. They don’t even need to make any moves, just let their players develop. Should be contenders in a season or two. Paulo is good enough to be in MVP conversations in the future. Suggs is a great piece. Anthony Black looks like a future starter. 3 young starter level centers. Howard, Da Silva, and Houston all have potential as long athletic wings. Just like the Rockets, OKC, SA, and Memphis…. this team is going to be contending for the next decade. If they could somehow package some guys and upgrade at center… get a legit all star level guy. They’ve got some vets they could move.
Cade is carrying the pistons harder his teammates just aren’t as well coached. Cade legit has to rebound because his starting center can’t stay out of foul trouble, has to set the table because there are no shot creators and has to score all the points because no one over there is consistent besides Hardaway. If they had a coach that could teach Duren fundamental rotations and contests they’d be a much better team just off of that alone. Cades numbers are better across the board man it’s a coaching and culture problem over there has been for a decade plus
@@zorotarded178 i understand it. I'm not saying he isn't great ir anything. But he just seemed to focus more on passing to his teammates then finishing strong against the opponents in clutch. Also he doesn't seem to handle the pressure as well as Wagner
@@zorotarded178 Cade carries shit, really, detroit sits @ .412 no one in Detroit carries anything. If franchise player 1a goes down and 1b takes over to hold them over .50 and even get better, thats carrying. Cade is sadly really underwhelming in comparison to how he was advertised. Another Luka, maybe even better. That has been said. Reality is, he ain´t even close to be close to Luka. And to say he is better as Franz is just blind. Instead of just 3 stats you should maybe look at advanced stats. And those favor Franz. Clearly. Right now, i would bet that every coach in the league would take Franz over Cade. Way more upside. And 6´10, can dribble, can shoot, can pass, clearly better defender, way better team-defender. Way less injuries. Coachable. Elite movement without the ball. And most important, Franz has more potential than Dirk which becomes more and more obvious. And Cade does not have more potential than Dirk. It is what it is, Detroit Pistons doing Pistons things even when they are drafting at 1
Franz is way more athletic while also being an elite defender. He drives and dunks way more often. Doncic is better playmaker/passer, better in isolation, better from midrange and normally a better shooter overall (not this season though).
Franz plays much better defense ... he's not quite as good a shooter, passer or ball handler as Luka. But he's pretty close. Luka is off to a poor start this season ... lazy on D and not shooting that well.
They could have. Kuminga is pretty good but Franz is more dependable on both ends of the court. Warriors had a chance to draft Sengun after they took Kuminga in the same draft .... naturally they picked a guard who is usually on the bench. 😂 Sengun is going to be an All-Star.
@randygraham926 franz would be a perfect fit on the warriors. They could have drafted franz wagner and sengun on that draft but ended up picking kuminga and moody. Let alone that they drafted Wiseman over lamelo ball. Why this team can't draft the right players anymore. They made 1 good pick in poole and they traded him for cp0
This was bad coaching rii here,you let the guy who’s cooking you the most beat you 1v1,would’ve let him get to the rack IF I’m giving up anything(OT better than the 3 they gave up)he’s literally been prime James harden tonight and ya give him a 1v1 for game smh
Orlando should try to get Trae Young. Hear me out. Trae has proven he can carry an offense and perform in the playoffs…. His problem is his team doesn’t build defense around him. Orlando has another all star type player in Banchero AND Franz. They have athleticism and defense every where and most of all they have LENGTH AND SIZE at the wings and bigs. It just seems like a perfect fit for a team looking to take the next step. An elite playmaker and shooter/scorer. To go with a defensive team that lacks a true playmaker with two 6’10 scoring wings in Franz and Paolo???? Tell me that wouldn’t be SCARY in the east!
@@nikolayjerev6138CORNY! It’s a great fit. Trae was killing the Cs basically by himself. With a team like Orlando it makes perfect sense and that man has to be tired of losing over there.
Honestly why should they? Orlando has a lot talent and is young. So they do have time. Why sacrificing talent or maybe picks fr an borderline allstar with absolutely no Defense? Literally one of the five worst defenders in the league? If you want to fuck the chemistry in the team, you do that, if not, you stay away from him
They don't have a super team lol. They have a 39 year old LeBron, and AD. They're a decent team, but definitely not a super team. Austin Reeves was crap tonight. 3/13 or something like that.
