Ann Arbor — There were times last year Moritz Wagner was a little lost in translation.
A lanky big man from Berlin, Wagner struggled to stay on the court as a true freshman as he learned Michigan’s intricate and complex system, dealt with foul trouble and grappled with a language barrier.
But amid the sporadic playing time, Wagner flashed his potential.
He dazzled with 19 points against Charlotte in nonconference play and didn’t a miss shot over the final four games, scoring 12 total points on 4-for-4 shooting against Indiana and Purdue in the Big Ten tournament and 10 points on 5-for-5 shooting versus Tulsa and Notre Dame in the NCAA Tournament.
