NBA Draft: Could Moritz Wagner offer the Bucks much-needed frontcourt shooting?

Strengths

First and foremost, Wagner’s ability to stretch the floor effectively, whether that’s through picking and popping or simply setting up from behind the three-point line, is an appealing trait with where the NBA game is trending. Over his sophomore and junior seasons at Michigan, Wagner knocked down 108 of his 274 attempts from downtown (39.4 percent).

The threat Wagner poses from beyond the arc also opens up his dribble drive game, which he utilizes to his full advantage when aggressively run off the three-point line by opposing defenders.

For as much as his perimeter skills stand as the most translatable aspect of his game, Wagner is a respectable and deft finisher at the basket, at least on the college level. In his junior season, Wagner put home 99 of his 139 attempts at the rim (66.5 percent), per Will Schreefer’s shot chart tool over at The Stepien.

Lastly, one of, if not the biggest area where Wagner made strides this season was improving on his instincts to crash the glass and using his size to secure rebounds.

That really showed in the jump he displayed on the defensive side of the ball, considering he improved his defensive rebounding percentage from 15.3 percent in his sophomore season to 24.7 percent this year as a junior, per Sports-Reference.com.
