Live updates: UM's Wagner drafted by Lakers
Round 1
25. L.A. Lakers: Moritz Wagner, PF, Michigan
A pick and roll artisan, the big German presents defensive matchup problems for any team. After leading Michigan to the title game, Wagner skipped his senior year. He can hit 3s at a 40 percent clip but also has great catch-and-finish ability. Defense will always be a weakness for Wagner, but with fewer and fewer traditional big men for him to guard in the NBA, he could easily carve out a productive niche.
24. Portland: Anfernee Simons, SG, IMG Academy
