Los Angeles Lakers rookie Moritz Wagner has carried out a smaller role than some expected in the 2018-2019 campaign. However, that does not diminish the impact he has made on the team.
Although his minutes remain meager, Wagner has seen a spike in playing time in December. One of his best performances of the season was on Dec. 16 against the Wizards. The youngster tallied a career-high 12 points and gobbled up three rebounds.
During that same game, Wagner made two of his three 3-point attempts. It was an encouraging sign because of how well-known he was for his shooting prowess in college.
