Nah, he's a bad defender.

Yeah, not sure Wagner can guard in space. Maybe like Kaminsky.

U could get away with Wagner at the 4 in certain spots. He can't be much worse than Jabari Parker... The Jazz have the premier eraser of defensive mistakes in Rudy, if there's anyone who can get away with these types of things it's them.
Wagner is the best bigman shooter on the board... Even if he's a defensive liability, he can trade 3's for 2's... He spaces the floor for Rudy's rim running... The Jazz are gonna be very interested, They liked Trey Lyles, this isn't rocket science...
Plus he's still relatively young, his athleticism will improve a good bit in his first few seasons.

of any of these prospects reports of Wagner's "ball-skills" in private workouts could really boost his stock.... this is something key to watch.. He has a handle, if it's as good as it looked when he dropped Nick Ward to the floor, or in their last game he had a sick behind-the-back dribble that left the defense in the dust, he's gonna fly up the boards...
He could be underrated in the way that Ryan Anderson (who I watched and looked fantastic in college) was in 2008, when he fell to #21, which some thought was a reach for sure.
Wagner is built to WOW in private workouts... I guarantee it..

I would say that Tillie is a better shooter then Wagner and has better upside on defense

Pretty sure I've gone over this already. Mo can shoot it the best off the dribble. There may be more accurate shooting bigs off the catch, but once u start to get into Catch, then pump, take one dribble, reset, and shoot scenarios and anything more complicated, Mo is the best and it's probably not even close..
**unless ofcourse we're counting Michael Porter Jr as a big, but he's way out of range..
Mo can attack a closeout...

If we're being real the jazz should just tank and get another lottery pick and keep it moving... They aren't winning **** this year. might as well load up for next
Zhaire could grow into a two-way wing. He'll be able to get space for himself with his athleticism. He needs to work on his handle and shooting, but he's the right kind of athlete to compete in a game like this. A sleeper pick here could also be Troy Brown, who is skilled, but not quite as athletic.
I think Jae Crowder qualifies as an athletic wing, but we need someone who can create and score at the forward spot. We need a shooter.

I think Crowder and even Rubio are bit slow for small ball match up tbh. Not to mention Ingles or Gobert... If we put in Dante, Royce, Thabo(when healthy of course) Jerebko and Mitchell, no way Jaylen gets his shot off
On an average night there should be NO way for Boston to be within 5 possessions when Utah got homecourt and Kyrie, Hayward and Horford are sitting out.
