Franz is an outstanding wing who can really stretch the defense with lethal long-range shooting. A beautiful touch from the outside. He can dominate around the rim as well with that nice size and certainly knows how to use it to his advantage for effective inside scoring but wicked mid-range game. Handles the ball very well and can drop a sweet dime. Defensively, he alters a lot of shots. With his length, Franz causes all sorts of problems for offensive players.
Last season, Brady only averaged 7.7pts, 3rebs, and 0.8 asts, but he improved dramatically during the AAU session against some of the best talent in the country. Brady doubled his averages in every category averaging 15pts, 8rebs, and 4asts. That’s a huge statement of how hard he worked to elevate his game.
Franz lived in the gym, getting up upward of 300 shots a day. It paid off big time. He has set a goal of going undefeated and claiming a state championship while continuing to improve his skills on both ends of the floor and becoming the leader every coach wants. Coaches should know they are getting a knockdown shooter from deep and can get to the basket if his shot isn’t falling with enough size and strength to overpower many defenders. Franz is just hungry to play and win on the next level. This young star is still on the rise and should come into his own this season. Don’t miss it.
