Solid drive by Wagner and then shutting down Barnes on the other end.
Solid drive by Wagner and then shutting down Barnes on the other end.
Really like him, he looks very complete.
Barnes can't even stay on the floor in a critical game. Many times in this game he's been invisible when he's playing off ball. Dumb turnovers, too. It's everything I said earlier in this thread. He's for sure magical when he's driving to the basket. But like I said, get ready for a frustrating three years when you draft him.
I don't think it'll take him that long. He's got some elite attributes that a good coach can play to to get him on the floor earlier than that. .. now that I've said that, he is more of a boom or bust guy but I'd bet on him to boom... I wouldn't be upset at all if we got him and he'd look good next to Luka.... Wagner would be my preference though...he could play next to Luka or KJ seamlessly and his bbiq is impressive...needs to work on his outside shooting though... he's good but he needs to be close to elite to really max out his ability...
There's a sense of purpose every time Franz has the ball... None of that dribble two times and then pass it off stuff that Lonnie likes (or liked? He's getting better) to do that drives Pop crazy.
I hope Michigan play Gonzaga in the F4... I want to see Wagner and Kispert match up now..
Franz Wagner is making himself some money this tournament. Kid is a baller and will creep into the lottery before it’s all said and done imo.
Shouldn't have needed the tournament if scouts were doing their job properly... Franz has been doing this all year.
His brother became a first round pick because of the tournament
And remember that Franz is younger than Barnes or other top prospects like Suggs/Mobley.
Now that it something I didn't realize....wow
Me too ! Just saw that on twitter a few hours ago.
About Sengun
Nice. Hopefully that's early enough that summer league can still happen in August.
Jaden Springer (Tennessee) declared today. I like this kid... good defender as a combo guard...shot 43% from 3 this year... not a lottery pick but if we moved one of White or DJ he wouldn't be a bad replacement and his shooting might make him a better fit.
I think if there is a chance to trade up and get Mosley, Suggs or Cunningham you do it. Otherwise stay put. And imo everyone should be on the table for those trades if we have the opportunity to do them. That’s a big if though. Not sure those top 3 teams are going to want to trade those picks away.
The only youngster I’m down with moving to bump up a handful of spots is Lonnie.
If there's someone we really like I'm fine with moving anyone to move up into the top 8.
Yeah, I think the top 4 are LEGIT ELITE talent with zero chance of them trading out of that range - after that you might get someone to bite from 5 - 9 but it will be expensive - around 10 past I can see teams doing trades if it makes sense for both teams.
IMO each team's needs:
T-Wolves - SF or PF
Pistons - SG
Rockets - SG, SF, PF
Magic - Everything
Wizards - SG, C
Cavaliers - SF, PF
Raptors - SG, C
Thunder - SG, SF, PF, C
Pelicans - SG
Kings - SG, SF, PF, C
Pacers - SG, SF
Warriors - SF
Grizzlies - SG, SF
Hawks - SG, SF
Looking at this, teams that are a threat to taking the prospects (PF) I would like are: T-Wolves, Rockets, Cavs, Thunder, Kings, Grizzlies.
Hopefully none take Wagner!
You've watched more film on Wagner than most on here....what do you think of his shooting stroke from deep? That's my only concern really..
I have not watched Wagner much either except yesterday and he abused Florida State.
Is he tough enough to rebound and defend?
Doesn’t matter. He’ll be long gone before we pick barring a trade.
