Michigan basketball's Franz Wagner knew last year would be slow. Now he's ready to roll

Franz Wagner briefly considered declaring for the NBA draft this offseason.

The German forward enjoyed a successful freshman season for Michiganbasketball, and had already entered college with draft buzz after playing professionally in his home country.

But in the end, Wagner said, "it really wasn't that big of a decision." He felt it would be best if he returned to play another season for the Wolverines.
