The Lead
Kind of fitting that on the same day the Michigan State Spartans and Michigan Wolverines played an epic game on the gridiron a little over an hour away in East Lansing, the Orlando Magic were in Detroit with one former Spartan and three former Wolverines on their roster. One of them is Franz Wagner. A Wolverine the past two seasons before getting drafted by the Magic, he shined bright on Saturday with 19 points, but Orlando was unable to hold off the Pistons in a 110-103 loss.
Rookie Watch
Without a doubt, Wagner has been one of the league’s top NBA rookies thus far.
