Fanbase Rookie Approval Rating: Moritz Wagner

Hey so I'm embarking on a litte project to compile fanbase approval ratings for the rookies your team drafted (or traded for on Draft night). Very simple poll like a Presidential approval. Use whatever subjective or objective criteria you feel is necessary to decide.

Had 0 expectations for him contributing to this pt, still completely unknown with almost a 0 sample size. Put undecided

Haven't seen enough of him to tell. My initial reactions watching in in the Summer League were that his athleticism and slow shot won't translate well to the NBA. He seems very weak defensively at a critical position as well.

That said, who knows.... he's played maybe 10 minutes so far.

Hes played what? 5 total minutes this year? Can't really judge.

Disapprove - for now. He wasn't someone I wanted in the draft, and he hasn't shown anything since to change my mind. Rob Williams, Mitchell Robinson or trading up for Huerter or Holiday is what I wanted.

Wait until he plays at least 10-15 games.

I'll hold judgement but so far i'm not that happy with this pick, then again our rookies have taken a while to get into their stride so maybe Mo Wagner will be doing nicely by the end of the season.

He has the fire. The eye of the Tiger. Hell, he was screaming Braveheart adrenaline screams from the bench in SL when Caruso made free throws in the second quarter.

Besides that fire, which is a necessary check mark in my book, he rim runs very well for a big, he makes the three, he dives to the floor, he rebounds. He makes his free throws.

MoWag will become a fan favorite just on his fun contagious personality alone.

MoWag has impressed me in garbage time. What about you guys?

Landsberger · Post #11 » by **Landsberger** » Tue Dec 18, 2018 2:51 am

He made a couple shots but as you said.... garbage time. I still think he's a bit player at best. A guy who may be a change of pace C who can hit the 3.

Needs more time, you guys gotta stop judging so early as you'll all be disappointed early.

A petson’s Competitive fire is either there or not. We know he has his. We also know that he makes his threes and FTs and that he’s rim running very well, he’s 7’?

I blelieve he could have a solid NBA future — based on SL.
