ORLANDO -- Long before stepping foot into a University of Michigan facility as a student-athlete, Franz Wagner knew quite a bit about the school’s basketball history.
For one, and most obvious, his older brother and now Orlando Magic teammate Moe Wagner wore the blue and maize for three seasons. At the time a teenager, Franz watched Moe from afar guide the Wolverines to an NCAA tournament runner-up finish in 2018.
But that wasn’t Franz’s only source for Wolverine basketball knowledge. He, like so many other sports fans, watched ESPN’s documentary, The Fab Five, which chronicled, arguably, the most famous and scrutinized college team in American history.
