Embraced by a Home Away from Home, Moritz Wagner Is Finally Ready for a New Challenge

On Wednesday, June 6, in an office somewhere in the Crisler Center in Ann Arbor, Michigan, two men posed for a photo. On the right is Moritz Wagner, a 6’11”, 21-year-old native of Berlin, Germany. On the left is John Beilein, a 65-year-old native of Burt, New York.

Beilein won’t be heading to the NBA any time soon (he recently dismissed Pistons rumors), but Wagner will be. He formally announced his decision on The Players’ Tribune in April, and now, two months later, he says he feels good and ready to go.
