Making 7/12 in his summer debut, Franz Wagner tallied 17 points in Montpellier after missing the first matchup of the two countries in Cologne and shared the game-high with captain Dennis Schroder.

Ben Simmons, Dorian Finney-Smith among Nets trade candidates
Across the bridge, the Brooklyn Nets have chosen to pivot towards a rebuild, and other Nets veterans, including Cam Johnson, Dorian Finney-Smith, Bojan Bogdanovic, Dennis Schroder, Ben Simmons, and backup center Day’Ron Sharpe, are all potential trade candidates to monitor, league sources told HoopsHype.
Led by long-time NBA guard Dennis Schroder, Germany has officially announced the extended roster of 16 players who will fight for medals in the Paris Olympics. The team is stacked with familiar faces, including all 12 who triumphed at the 2023 FIBA World Cup. The Wagner brothers, Daniel Theis, Andreas Obst, and others are all back for another shot at glory. The roster boasts 4 NBA players and 10 EuroLeague athletes. The extended roster lacks New York Knicks center Isaiah Hartenstein and Dallas Mavericks power forward Maxi Kleber. Hartenstein previously expressed Olympic aspirations with the German national team but hinted at uncertainty about being selected: “I don’t think I’ll be invited to the Olympics under any circumstances.” Meanwhile, Kleber had a conflict with team captain Schroder last summer.
Budenholzer left for the Hawks, where he coached five seasons — all of them with current Nets guard Dennis Schroder. “Coach Bud was [great]. He taught me a lot,” Schroder told The Post. “I was like 18, 19 when I got to the league, and I was still all over the place. I thought Germany was like Atlanta, and the game in Germany, I thought I can just translate it easily. And he gave me all the steps to be great on the court and off the court, to make sure that I matured even off the court, making sure that I’m in a good place. “[He] was always talking to me, to my family. Always great. Off the court he helped me a lot and on the court. … When he got that [championship], I reached out to him, and it was special for me to see him winning that. So yeah, always had a great relationship with him.”
Dennis Schroeder wants to remain a Net
Dennis Schroeder has stepped into the breach and instantly taken on a leadership role. After arriving at the trade deadline, the Nets not just welcomed him but have willingly followed him. And the 30-year-old said before Wednesday’s 106-102 victory over the Raptors that he hopes and plans to be the point guard in Brooklyn again next season. “Of course. I always want to be stationed somewhere where people show me appreciation,” Schroeder told The Post before scoring 21 points in Wednesday’s win. “And I felt that from the first day — people reaching out to my family, to my wife, to my mom. That shows, OK, they really want me. And the playing style, as well, I like. They trust me, in what I am capable of. And of course I want to stay.
