Juwan Howard’s first year at head coach for the Michigan Wolverines early on looked like it might be a bit of a struggle without any proven offensive playmakers on the team, but that outlook may be changing now that German wing Franz Wagner (yes, the brother of Moe) is Ann Arbor-bound for his freshman season.
During his play at the FIBA U18 European Championships from July 27 to Aug. 4, Wagner averaged 24 points, nine rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.2 blocks per 40 minutes played.
Jonathan Givony of ESPN (ESPN+ content) broke down Wagner and his skill-set coming out of the tournament.
