Franz Wagner · With his second season almost in the books, Franz Wagner and the Orlando Magic continued making strides toward improvement. Following a point-blank miss from Wendell Carter Jr., Wagner had his teammate’s back when he picked Jaden Ivey’s pocket at halfcourt and raced the other way for an epic one-handed throwdown. Wagner tallied 16 points, five rebounds, eight assists and three steals in his squad’s 128-102 win over the Detroit Pistons on April 2, 2023. Orlando’s 34th and final victory of the season was the franchise’s most since the 2018-19 campaign. Wagner raised his points, assists and steals per game averages from year one to two while shooting 48.5 percent from the field and 36.1 percent from downtown. · State of Mint · State of Mint
