2018 NBA Mock Draft 5.0
Wagner led Michigan to the NCAA championship game, something that could push him into first round consideration. THe Nets are still searching for another big man behind Jarrett Allen, and Wagner might catch their attention.
While not the greatest defender, Moe Buckets does a lot of nice things offensively. He’s a knockdown shooter who’s capable of maneuvering around the post and carving out shots. That added floor spacing at the five spot could bring some nice value to Brooklyn’s second unit.
This is higher than most mocks project Wagner, but the Wolverines junior should be able to work his way into the first round conversation given his personality and NBA-friendly skill set.
