Moritz Wagner
Position: PF/C College: Michigan Class/YOB: Junior
Height: 7’0 Weight: 240 Wingspan: 7’0
Strengths:
- Pick-and-pop nightmare. Feasts on open threes and mid-range jumpers. Has a good pump fake and can attack aggressive closeouts.
- Slick footwork in the post. Has a reliable spin move and utilizes fakes to get open.
- Plays hard and runs the floor well. Makes opponents sprint back every possession.
- Great size. Is quick enough to play the four in big lineups and big enough to play the five.
Weaknesses:
- Average rebounder. Improved a lot from a year ago but still won’t be leading any team on the glass.
- Unintimidating rim protector. Despite size, he doesn’t block a lot of shots.
- Lacks the strength to win physical battles on the interior.
- Pick-and-roll defense may be a struggle initially. Quickness is plus for a 7-footer but is sometimes too aggressive hedging. Should be able to switch effectively with time.
