4. Franz Wagner, Michigan SF

Franz is the younger brother of current Washington Wizards and former Wolverine, Moe Wagner. He’s only 6’8″ at the moment and if he’s anything like his brother, he’s going to continue to grow in height/frame. Wagner has a strong catch-and-shoot ability but lacks athleticism at the moment. It will be interesting to see how his game transitions from the pace played in Germany over to the States. Ignas Brazdeikis (another former Wolverine and current New York Knick) didn’t have any trouble when he moved from Lithuania to Canada to Michigan but we shall see with Wagner.

3. Avery Anderson, Oklahoma State PG/SG

A flashy combo guard that can score pretty much against anyone. Avery has a smooth game that should translate well into the college game. he also has good size and length for his position. A problem, that he will quickly realize, is that not all of his shifty moves will work at the next level. Anderson is going to have to work on the turnovers and improve on finding others on the floor instead of trying to get the extraordinary points. Excited to see him in action at Stillwater.
