Drafted No. 8 overall by the Magic in 2021, the young German forward has blossomed into a well-rounded scorer and a contributor on both ends of the court.
In 72 games last season, Wagner set career bests in points (19.7 ppg) , rebounds (5.3 rpg) and assists (3.7 apg) — and helped the Magic win the Southeast Division and return to the playoffs for the first time since 2019-20.
