CHICAGO — Moritz Wagner is trying to keep things simple as he goes through the pre-draft process.

As he meets with teams for interviews and workouts, the former Michigan big man has talked to coaches, executives — and legends like Los Angles Lakers president Magic Johnson, who Wagner said he met Thursday.

Wagner has tried to remain himself through all of it. He wants to enjoy this process. At this time last year, he was deciding whether he would remain in the draft or return to Ann Arbor.
