International basketball expert Fran Fraschilla of ESPN

Fran Fraschilla was a successful college basketball coach who became an expert on the international game and has been an analyst at ESPN for nearly 20 years. In addition to calling college games, he is ESPN’s NBA Draft expert on talent from around the world. With international players becoming some of the NBA’s biggest stars, Fran’s role has become more important than ever. On this week’s Mike Wise Show, Fran & Mike discuss how non-American players have influenced the game and helped it evolve from being “dunk oriented” into a more flowing and unselfish style of play. If you saw how Luka Doncic carved up the Lakers defense on Saturday, that was a perfect example. Fran also sizes up some of the international players likely to be high picks in the 2021 NBA Draft. Fran even tells the story of making his Brooklyn high school’s Wikipedia page and joining some of his famous HS classmates.
