And yet, so often, he or Franz get the ball on the perimeter.

There's a screen set a little too late.

And then go.

Yes.

Yes.

And once Franz gets back and once Jalen Suggs gets off his minutes restriction, he's still on a minutes restriction, which is impeding his rhythm during the game and and making it tough for him to be at his best offensively and defensively.

They are a much better team.

So one of the reasons why I was looking down as the two of you might have talked as I was writing down some stats.

So.

The projected starting five of Jalen Suggs, Desmond Bain, Franz Wagner, Paolo Bancaro, Wendell Carter Jr.

has appeared in only 11 games together for a total of 117 minutes.

And during that time, they've outscored the opponent by 18 points per 100 possessions.

So that's an incredibly effective lineup.

But...

In some ways, it's been fool's gold because none of the big three for them have remained healthy.

One of the great aspects of Jalen Suggs is just how physical he is.

And yet that physicality does make him prone to injuries because he's taking incredible collisions.

Franz, well, his injury this year has been a fluke.

He was fouled going to the hoop and...

Wasn't his fault.
