It’s time to admit Franz is better than Paolo
Box score stats this season:
Paolo: 22/7/5 on 51% ts
Franz: 25/6/5 on 57% ts
Advanced stats:
Paolo: -.1 vpm, 0 epm, .6 lebron, .6 Darko (only ranked in top 100 with one stat where he was ranked 99th)
Franz: 3.8 vpm, 5 epm, 2.3 LeBron, 2.3 Darko (ranked top 25 in almost every stat)
On/off numbers:
Franz+Banchero: -5.09 net rating
Banchero without franz: -8.31 net rating
Franz without Banchero: 10.04 net rating
I’m already expecting comments telling me to watch the games, but I have. If you watch objectively you would notice Banchero isn’t a good defender and ball hogs.
Don’t talk to me about the difference in rotations because that would only explain on/off, not the other stats.
