Loved how Germany played today. This team really has a defensive identity and a very clever coach.
I brought up Voigtmann earlier this offseason (before we signed McGee) as a guy for the Mavs to take a good look a, mainly because of the contract situation (under contract in Russia but left the country when the war started. Probably has an NBA clause that could get him out cleanly.) Not sure he could make it in the NBA, but he's a unique player with 7ft size, good IQ, passing and a 3pt shot, like a (very) poor man's Jokic.
Thiemann is listed as PF/C, but actually more a wing. Maybe a poor man's Batum. I really like him, he might fill a small role, but probably not an NBA player. Today he had one of the best games i've seen from him.
Both are already older (Voigtmann almost 30, Thiemann 28), so they have to fit right away, not much time to develop.
