Pretty ridiculous half from Franz. Insane how good he is, just dominated when he was on the floor. Really hard to believe he’ll shoot it with confidence over 82 games + playoffs but holy cow is he a complete offensive player when its cooking (and still devastating attacking rim when it’s not)
Going to be interesting to see how the Magic roster mesh. Paolo and Franz kinda clash stylistically, but the spacing is nonexistent. Getting Bane should help, but still.
Good chance Franz wins MVP if Gemany wins gold
Germany up 4 late on Slovenia. THey’ve been down the whole game but have come on strong
Germany is gonna pull it out. Franz has 23/7/4 in 36 minutes. They’re gonna be heavily favored to make it to the title game, they already beat Finland by 30. They’ll face Sengun and Turkey or Giannis and Greece
Germany playing great early but Franz confidence in his jumper back to absolute zero lol
Franz heating up now and making the wide open ones that they’re letting him have. Olli also looks amazing
1 more win after this and Franz will be MVP, he’s outplayed Schroeder pretty handily this tournament
although I say that and Dennis has 19/10 on 8 shots… so maybe not a given, but I’d say Franz is the best and most valuable player on the team, just not sure the voters will look at it that way.
How has Franz been shooting as the tournament went on? That’s the big question to see whether he’s taking the next step or will still be held back by his broken shot.
probably not much to take from such a small sample size either way
Dang Nkamhoua has 19 points and is Finland’s leading scorer
Olli was amazing today
Tristan Da Silva played great today really coming along nicely for Germany in this tournament is huge for them
Inconsistent. The shot physically looks more like 2-3 years ago (less hitch), but not going in consistently.
He’s done everything else well though.
Hooper.
League average
Finally a truth speaker.
Franz is shooting 31% on 32 attempts, so likely nothing to change any opinion anyone has on his shooting.
Seems like the final will determine whether Franz or Sengun (21/11/7) gets MVP
Glad to hear Olli had a good showing at this event. Felt bad that he endured that terrible season - seemed like a good player and good kid. I wonder if he gets another chance at an NBA tryout based off of this or just sticks to EU leagues.
Great first half. Voigtmann and Moe injuries starting to show now as Theis and Theimann have 2 each and cant handle Sengun at all. Franz on Sengun now, hoping for a Pete Nance situation.
Holy cow. Incredile game. Germany deserving champion. TDS and Bonga were incredible, Dennis takes em home
