Mo Wagner - Most Underrated Role-Player?
I was certain this guy was a pretty scrubby role player. Not bad, but definitely below average. However he's actually had really good impact stats on the Magic the last four years.
Last 4 years - 19.4 PER, 64.7 TS%, .166 WS/48. You can't fake those numbers as a role player, in fact he's a very good player on a per-minute basis (only 17.6 MPG).
Re: Mo Wagner - Most Underrated Role-Player?
He could have a bigger role for sure.
Re: Mo Wagner - Most Underrated Role-Player?
He’s certainly a good scorer but his value depends on his defense as a big. I don’t watch him enough to know how it is. I’d be careful just using box score stats like that, they are always going to favor a big man who scores frequently and efficiently.

Indeed a good counterpoint, and yet it wouldn't surprise me if he is above average on defense either.
Re: Mo Wagner - Most Underrated Role-Player?
Yes, he's really good..and probably exactly what the Lakers, Warriors and so many other teams could use. Definitely a 15-17 PPG player who can go off for 20-30. Great 3 point shooter, rim runner, hustle and enforcer type.
Did just have a severe injury last night though I believe.

Praying we don't revisit bismack or Robin Lopez in pinstripes. Run goga, Wendell small ball Isaac and scour the Gleague or trade market

I already knew he got hurt which is what made me look up his performance.
Re: Mo Wagner - Most Underrated Role-Player?
I think once both Wagner brothers are healthy on the magic they will get more attention than they were before franz had his injury. Because they've been good for a while now and I think people were just starting to catch on early this season
