2018 NBA Mock Draft 6.0
Wagner led Michigan to the championship game as one of the Big 10’s most dynamic offensive weapons. His shooting at the five spot is something NBA teams will value, while the Nets don’t have much outside of Jarrett Allen when it comes to frontcourt depth.
Defense will be an issue for Wagner, but he’s a solid athlete whose mobility could serve him well in spots. His offensive benefits should be more than enough to warrant first round consideration.
The Nets are a pass-heavy team that likes to space the floor and shoot threes. Wagner can add to that spacing while still thriving as a roll man who’s capable of finishing around the rim.
