The Great
Footwork, footwork, and more footwork. Franz Wagner makes up for a lack of speed and explosion with shiftiness and body control. It’s super unique, really. Not many players in the history of the game have ever had Wagner’s distinctive movements with the ball in his hands. He has a knack for detecting wrinkles in the defense while dribbling in and around traffic.
His crusading around generally leads to quality shots, too. While funky and awkward looking sometimes, the 20-year-old has a sweet touch on drives. Many of his shot attempts when attacking the basket are banked in, and some he tosses up from weird angles.
