Detroit Pistons: NBA Mock Draft 5.0 pick No. 8

Pick Analysis. Forward. Michigan / Orlando Magic. Franz Wagner. 8. 38. Scouting Report. player

The Magic use their second lottery pick on combo forward Franz Wagner, who is one of the most versatile forwards in the draft.

Wagner is a guy who can create off the bounce and played some point forward for Michigan and he can also shoot the 3-point shot at a high rate.

This would give the Magic a lot of lineup flexibility and possibly open the door for more trades if they wanted to move on from Isaac or one of their veterans.

Wagner is a tough defender who can guard a couple of spots, so he’d fit into just about any lineup.

The Magic already grabbed their raw, high ceiling guy with number five, so will take a safer option here with Wagner.
