It's The University of Alabama. Or championship U. Or RB U. Or Linebacker U. Or WR U. Or be ignorant and call it something else, we'll still whoop that ***.
Can you show me where Wagner tested for the "some of the best lateral quickness in the draft"? I'm very curious.
Franz didnt test and test dont really matter. This must be hard for y'all who never watch basketball unless teh Jazz are losing so you want to hop on to complain.It's The University of Alabama.

Wagner has legit 2-4 defensive ability with switching onto PG's in his bag. He's going to get more athletic with age as his body fills out (think Hayward, great frame).

Except he doesn’t move like Hayward. He moves like a big.

I was just trying to clarify, and I did, that you were just talking out of your anus about Wagner having "some of the best lateral quickness in the draft". We don't really know though do we? He looks great against Northwestern's PG though.
Bruh you might not know, but me and nearly every other respected draft analyst know.

I'm not saying the guy is a scrub. I'm saying he's not worth trading up for in our situation.
Will also point out Wagner shot 41% from 3 in conference play this year.
In the unlikely scenario he drops to late lottery, he's the only guy other than Moses Moody (and maybe Josh Giddey) where I would trade up for.

If you compare Franz Wagner to Mikal Bridges at the same stages Wagner is the far superior prospect.
I doubt he falls out of the top-10.

I think people read into this stuff too much. His buddy makes a joke about being behind on the latest music trends. It's not that serious and the situation with Donovan is not some mystery.
We know who Donovan is. He's not going to get out of Utah because he needs to hear the hottest music, he's a NYC kid who loves the bright lights and actively tries to be a star on and off the court. If you thought he was going to be a Jazz lifer...idk what to tell you. There's nothing wrong with that, by the way. He has his priorities and it shouldn't shock anyone that his career goals aren't to spend his whole career in Utah.
Like you said, it's best if we don't kid ourselves. Get the most out of the time he's here and when it's time for him to move on make sure he's not walking for nothing and we get a good trade.
