NBA Awards "The Slammies" + The Blazers Future | Slam N Jam

Yeah, he's tied with Shingun and Giannis and scoring a very solid 1.06 points per possession on those post-ups. He had a career high 35 this year. He scored almost 17 points per game, which for me is the definition of I wasn't familiar with your game because I did not know he could have that sort of consistent offensive impact night in, night out. So he gets the award for me.

Yeah, he's been great. I mean, honestly, the only negative thing you could say is that he's their best player. And like, how far can you get? Like, how are they going to get that next player? You know, how are they going to find a top 20 guy to pair with Denny?

And I think if the magic season had gone the way it was looking early on, we might already be thinking of Franz that way. But because of the injuries, because it's been so many months since the NBA community at large has even thought about the magic. I was thinking about like listening to national NBA pods, how long it's been since I've heard a magic segment.

I think as a result of that, his season's gone under the radar a little bit. And assuming they make some much-needed moves this summer to bolster that offense, next season, Andrew, year of the fronts. He put up career highs across the board. Year of the fronts. Put up career highs as far as counting stats. He's right around 24, 6, and 5 per night.

Got his free throw attempts up over five per game. Now, the three-point shooting, obviously still an issue. But I really loved everything else we got from Franz this season as his usage skyrocketed. Did you know he was top 10 in usage this season? Over 31% usage. I think he was like at 25 last season. And that stretch he had early in the season when Paulo went out, it was incredible.
