Wagner, Franz Michigan    6'8" 205 SF soph. 

Wagner is a right handed wing that is best described as a "glue guy". He makes his teammates better with his heady, hustle game. He finished fifth in the entire NCAA in boxscore plus/minus. ...Wagner averaged 12.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, 3.0 assists, and 1.3 steals per game as a sophomore. He takes care of the ball. Wagner only had 36 turnovers in 887 minutes this season. That is outstanding. His assist-to-turnover ratio is 2.33-to-1.  Wagner's three-point shooting is just okay (34%). He shows touch at the foul line, making 83.5%. ...The Wolverines were 3.7 points per 100 possessions better defensively with Wagner in the game. ...Wagner is the younger brother of NBA forward, Moritz Wagner. We believe Franz Wagner will be selected in the second half of the lottery. ...We envision him as a future NBA starter. 

 

Our best advice: in 2018, the 9th pick was Kevin Knox. We advised, "draft Mikal Bridges."
