| adidas Nations Experience 2008: European Prospects
August 16, 2008
This was a good, but not great showing from Spanish point guard Josep Franch, appearing to tire a bit as the week wore on, and not really a factor in the later stages. A fundamentally sound point guard with average physical tools, Franch showed some excellent ball-handling skills throughout the week going left or right, and a solid command of running the pick and roll. He is skinny, with extremely short arms, and just decent quickness, but has a nice sense for changing speeds and thus did a pretty good job getting to the rim in this setting. He tries some very risky passes at times, making him a bit turnover prone at times, but for the most part is pretty impressive running an offense considering his extreme youth, and seems to exert some effort on the defensive end as well, even if his potential here seems limited due to his average physical tools. Able to hit a jumper from mid-range, he looked more content setting up his teammates than looking for his own offense.

L’Hospitalet 2008: It’s a Big World

Easily the most creative player in the entire tournament, Josep Franch is a very talented point guard for whom the game comes very easily. Listed at 6-3 (he looks slightly shorter), he’s nicely quick and takes advantage of his excellent ball-handling skills to operate on the court with ease. The most eye-popping ability he displays is his passing game, often spectacular, even eventually flashy. He enjoys excellent court vision and finds his teammates effortlessly, showing a wide array of different passes executed with either hand. Indeed, he’s automatic translating his dribble into a pass. He’s so confident that he sometimes overdoes things trying passes in the air that he still hasn’t decided on before leaving the ground, therefore risking a turnover that sometimes inevitably comes.
Another greatly interesting skill that Franch enjoys is a very solid mid-range jumper he can easily net, even in off-the-dribble mode. Not being very big and neither extremely athletic in order to consistently attack the basket, it’s very useful for him to be able to rely on a solid jumper. He has three-point range, but didn’t look as reliable here. An able defender, he shows good lateral quickness.
Franch usually practices with Joventut’s first team, and he kept reporting during the tournament, which likely hurt his level of performance to some degree. Anyway, his basketball talent is too obvious to hide, even under a shade of fatigue.
