    Franz has a 54 ts on 26 usage. Barnes has a 55 ts on 24 usage. Mobley has a 61 ts on 21 percent usage. I feel like people are just ranking these players by scoring average with 0 context around it or thought about the other side of the ball, where Mobley is legitimately one of the most impactful players in their world and the other 2 are still just interesting.

      Franz is a better defender than barnes…Part of the reason the Magic have an elite defense.

        I mean, he sorta can though. But why give him so many post possessions when you have Garland and Mitchell?
