Those who are hoping Moritz Wagner sticks around for another season or two at Michigan, might be able to find a silver lining in the Wolverines’ loss last week to Oregon in the NCAA Tournament’s Sweet Sixteen.
Wagner’s tough night against Oregon’s Jordan Bell in a 69-68 loss — the sophomore had seven points on 3-of-10 shooting, missing all four 3-point attempts, and five rebounds — might have given NBA scouts reason for pause, writes ESPN’s Chad Ford, who offered an NBA stock watch of sorts Monday for players in the Sweet Sixteen (pay site).
Wagner is among of group of players who saw their stock fall this past weekend, Ford writes, though the ESPN analyst says the forward still could be a first-round pick if he decides to declare for the draft.
