NBA Mock Draft 6.0: Final edition, consensus pick for every team
Detroit Pistons: NBA Mock Draft 6.0 pick No. 9
9. Scouting Report. Franz Wagner. 84. Pick Analysis. Forward. Michigan / Sacramento Kings. player
The Kings have a very good young backcourt with Tyrese Haliburton and De’Aaron Fox, but lacked playmakers just about everywhere else, so Wagner does make sense for them as a playmaking forward who can shoot and defend.
The Kings are one of the teams that would probably like to trade this pick for a proven player, as they want to at least sniff the playoffs to give their beleaguered fanbase some kind of hope.
I doubt Wagner is going to warrant a parade in Sacramento but he is a very good all-around player who can fit onto just about any roster and make an impact.
