Lakers Choose Moritz Wagner With 25th Pick
7 years agoThe Los Angeles Lakers picked Michigan center Moritz Wagner with the 25th pick in the NBA Draft. Wagner can work as a stretch five for the Lakers who is capable of rebounding the ball -- he averaged 7.1 rebounds per game last season for the Wolverines -- but there are concerns about him on the defensive end. He's not going to block many shots and will have to prove himself to be a knock-down shooter if he wants to be a valuable piece for the Lakers this year. His value also is greatly dependent on what the Lakers do in free agency, as a Lakers team that goes all-in won't have room in the rotation for Wagner.
