(Franz) reminding me of Sophomore Wagner (Moritz). Let’s hope it continues in East Lansing!

Franz is much better defensively, and a more complete player. His low release on his 3-point shot may limit him in the NBA. He could have used Beilein's shot tutelage.

Mo, offensively, was perfect for Beilein's system. A big man who could shoot .......and take it to the hoop. The drive on Ward that "broke his ankles" is my favorite replay of all time!

Enjoy Franz while he lasts, because next season, he will be play 80 games a season, making several millions dollars.

Wagner is a first-round pick, and will be the first Wolverine picked in the NBA draft (even over Livers.  Wagner has more potential than Livers.)

Wagner is the closest player UM's ever had to someone who plays like Larry Bird. The half-time analyst tonight, former coach at UCLA said Wagner "intuits" the game, and very few players can do that. EXACTLY. Wagner can imagine what is going to happen before it happens. The game is slower for Wagner than the other players on the court.

Hell, Wagner may end up being a complete dud in the NBA, but right now, Wagner has the highest basketball IQ of anyone I've ever seen play bball at Michigan.

There is one thing Franz has not mastered. It is a skill I think hinders his NBA chances and where another year at Michigan is needed for him to perfect. It is something his brother mastered. Yes, people, you know what I am talking about. Franz must master this look:
