Wagner had some rough stretches during the NCAA Tournament, but his stellar junior season should earn him first round consideration. His combination of shooting and athleticism at the five spot is a valuable weapon at this point in the draft.

Moe Buckets shot 39.4 percent from deep on 4.1 attempts per game, emerging as one of the most dynamic scorers in the Big 10. He doesn’t project as a plus defender in the NBA, but his mobility could serve him well.

This is higher than most boards have him, but Wagner’s continued excellence — which started in the 2017 NCAA Tournament — gives me confidence that he’ll find a way to contribute in the NBA.
