Franz Wagner Says He's Studying Film on Luka Doncic and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander

Our guest this week is Franz Wagner of The Orlando Magic. And folks... it's a really good episode. We talk all things Magic and international basketball (Franz has TAKES). In this teaser clip, Franz talks about developing his game by watching his peers like Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (The Oklahoma City Thunder) and Luka Doncic (The Dallas Mavericks) on Second Spectrum. What is he trying to learn from SGA and Luka?

Franz Wagner is my favorite basketball player in the NBA

[@nprbiz]

The whole magic universe can't wait to see him back on the court. Sorely missed.

[@zoranmarkovic1123]

When you list certain players, I wonder if you started underestimating Luka again, or if this is some kind of intentional narrative.

[@lawbinson]

Franz is a beast! Gotta love a player who does his “homework”.

[@OLDMANANDTHETHREE]

Yup

[@Drequeezy]

On me it do hit different when you do your homework let’s start thea 🤷🏽

[@JSH2034]

I don’t know why but it was really wholesome how excited JJ got when Franz said he is using Second Spectrum lol

[@appie2901]

Love Franz as a player. Prolific talent and a glue-guy that would literally walk into every starting 5 and do great.

It's been a blessing being able to hear from the younger guys and how they improve on their craft. That said, Franz is going to become a future All-Star for sure! Been loving your podcast Mr. Redick, keep up the phenomenal work!

So fun to listen to, you can learn so much can’t wait for the full episode with Franz 🏀🔥🙌

[@williestyle35]

( 4:24 ) "finding more contact" this is something the very best scorers understand and use. Shai and Jimmy especially play off of and play through contact to get buckets.

[@FallUpSlowly]

I’m so glad Franz plays on the Magic. I hope I can watch this guy ball out for many many years

[@jakethesound4586]

Man...love that his brother has taught him a lot of things about strategy and that he has surpassed him in so many respects...as a big brother myself It's just an absolute treat to see your siblings reach higher levels with your help, but also just by themselves being more focused maybe than you yourself were.

[@chantzdavis8461]

JJ- I’ve had this thought over and over again for the past few weeks- YOU NEED TO GIVE OUT YOUR OWN AWARDS! Just like restaurants have the Michelin stars we need you to name All Stars (as many as you want), MVP, All NBA, ROTY, DPOTY, 6 man, Most improved- maybe more! Name them after whatever feels most right to you and in 10 years that is going to mean more than any league award! Do it!

Anyone noticed that players he studied are Luka, SGA, and Jimmy? All FT Merchants lol. He even said that he looked to see how they got calls.

[@hypnosisbeats]

wouldnt you try to get easy buckets?

[@SunsJoel]

@@hypnosisbeats Nah, ethical buckets is where it's at.

[@hypnosisbeats]

my man said ethical buckets@@SunsJoel

[@SunsJoel]

@@hypnosisbeats seriously, look at what has happened in the playoffs with James Harden and Joel embiid. Sometimes in the playoffs you aren't going to get your typical fouls called on you and what are you going to do then. What I mean by ethical buckets are players that aren't fishing for a foul and are instead trying to score.

[@CHANGINGTHEDUWA]

Calling Luka a freethrow merchant is crazy 😂. 35% of Butler's points are coming from freethrow while SGA is 25%. While Luka's is only 20% despite the fact that the kid is huge and drives way too often and post ups alot which by the way has the highest chance of getting fouled. Even though his complaining is annoying if you watch Mavericks games you will understand why.😊

He telling the magic make him the starting point guard ?

[@pipohemm8726]

He already has like the Turkoglu role, him and Paolo are gonna initiate when it matters. No reason to exhaust his energy by bringing the ball up all game though. He is also guarding wings and should remain an 3 or small ball four so I would built with two guards who can play off the ball well
