    Well apparently his German isn't just merely google translate according to ATW who I believe is a native German speaker.

    I was wrong, by the way, appears to be an actual person living in Germany and having grown up in Germany.

    Wemby and Alpi could play very well together.

    Morant is putting up an MVP season and is missing three of his starters... hell Morant put up a 49 and 8 game against the rockets but he not a franchise player??????? Morant is making his teammates better

    Alpi has to come off the bench... you come out better putting Tari or KJ at the 3 and Bari plays 4 and some back up 5 minutes if need be but Wemby is your starting five

    And he's doing this all at age 23. He's a perennial MVP candidate and potential to be the face of the league because of his playstyle.

    Just ask him if Harden is a franchise player wonder what his answer is.

    I'm high on Green as you probably know but that one is going to be tough. Ja is Green of he was a bit shorter but with KPJ's handle and above average court vision. He is someone who can be the center of a heliocentric offense.

    I'm not sure if Green ever becomes that unless he significantly improves his handle. Green is most likely destined to be an off guard. But hey this kid has great work ethic so he can very well still be the primary ball handler one day.

    Morants team won last season nearly every game as long morant was injury they would go far in playoffs with every other good score like they did with morant. In my opinion thats only my opinion franchise player are generation player who u can finde maybe every 5 or 10 jears in draft who dominate the game and make the whole franchise better. So in this league right now i would say: lebron, luka doncic, greek freak, jokic, cunningham( maybe), embid, curry, kawhi, trae young, dame, harden,

    Alpi is already coming off the bench now. I don't mind so much as long as he gets more minutes. And Wemby is probably more of a PF/C, despite his incredible height. There are 144 minutes at the SF/PF/C positions.

    SF: Tari (28), Jabari (20)
    PF: Jabari (14), Wemby (14), Alpi (10), Garuba (10)
    C: Wemby (16), Alpi (20), Garuba/Fernando/Boban (12)

    I'd love that rotation of Wemby, Alpi, Jabari, Tari at the C/PF/SF positions. It would be amazing. The height, the shooting, the passing, the creativity, the hustle, the defense.

    All we would need is a really steady point guard (either to replace or to back up KPJ). Maybe it could end up being TyTy, but I don't know.

    Could be something like

    PG: KPJ (20), someone like Tyus Jones (24), TyTy (4)
    SG: Jalen (34), KPJ (14)

    See, KPJ would still get his minutes. If we could get Chris Paul to end his career in Houston (and give him those Tyus Jones minutes instead), that would be something...

    If we are looking for someone "cheaper", Monte Morris has been almost as good as Tyus Jones when it comes to assist/turnover ratio.

    And of course spot minutes to whoever else is on the roster.

    Going by your logic Kawhi should not be a franchise player, because the clippers when he was out for the year went to the playoffs and went far without him.

    This is very cringe bro.His dribbling skills are great and he can work in it.He has flashes of koby and Jordan in the way he moves with the ball.I know special when I see it.Did you watch Curry his first 3-4 years?He wasn’t as great he put in the work.Just sit back and watch the kid blow your mind.I mean all Gianni’s does is dunk and use his athleticism..lol

    I hope not.. Jalen Green should not ever be used as the primary ball handler... Neva Eva Eva!... That'd be malpractice .. lol

    So Ja Morant hasn't done this for Grizz franchise?

    Its a very fine line between a franchise player(core piece) and superstar / 1st team all NBA

    a team like the Heat had 3 franchise players in Wade / Bron / Bosh, but the superstars were Wade n Bron, Bosh wasn't a superstar but for his stint with Raptors he was their franchise player and some in that Raptors fan base may have seen him as a superstar, depending on how big a homer fanatic they were

    Dissent was sewn, but the dissent tamer Dreamshook strikes again. You have the perfect moniker for blocking these fools, man. Get 'em all!
