In this Franz Wagner NBA Draft Profile, we’ll break down some of Michigan wing’s strengths and weaknesses and what makes him such an interesting prospect. He showed flashes of brilliance in his two years at Michigan, especially his sophomore year on a top-seeded team who shocked many all year. Wagner was a big reason for that as he definitely took that patented sophomore year leap and was able to show off numerous aspects of his game.

George Floyd is the first Black American to have a funeral. In the wake of Martin Luther King Jr.’s murder, riots ate the city of Boston whole, but the Celtics and 76ers continued to play the NBA Finals as scheduled. The Rodney King riots started on April 29, 1992 and nearly 20% of the U.S. population tuned into watch The Cosby Show finale the next day. Kobe and Gigi Bryant died on the eve of the 2020 Grammys. Billie Eilish was on stage within 12 hours. Black lives have been left to rot in the Tallahatchie River and neglected in Louisville apartments. Millions of Black Americans have been buried, but none have truly gotten the funeral they deserve, until now. America has never mourned a Black life until it had to.

Scoring
Jaden Springer can score with some of the best of college basketball’s guards. He has the ability to score at all three levels of the court. These scoring skills should translate well when he gets to the NBA. He was a driving force behind the Tennessee offense as a freshman last year. The NBA can never fill its need for scoring guards completely, so there will always be a spot for players like the young Tennessee freshman. Springer has the ability to slash, shoot from the mid-range, and can even hit consistently from beyond the arc as well.
