Victor Moritz "Moe" Wagner (born 26 April 1997) is a German professional basketball player for the Orlando Magic of the National Basketball Association (NBA). [1] He played for Alba Berlin [2] before moving to the US to play college basketball for the Michigan Wolverines from 2015 through his junior season for the 2017–18 Wolverines team. Wagner entered his name for the 2017 NBA draft without hiring an agent, but withdrew and returned to Michigan. He was selected with the 25th overall pick in the 2018 NBA draft by the Los Angeles Lakers.

He was a 2018 All-Big Ten second team selection by both the coaches and the media. Following the season, he was the 2018 Big Ten Conference men's basketball tournament MVP helping the team earn the Big Ten tournament championship for the second time in a row. He was also named to the West Region All-Tournament Team and Final Four All-Tournament Team during the 2018 NCAA basketball tournament. He has represented the Germany national team. His younger brother Franz Wagner is also an NBA player as well as his teammate, playing small forward for the Orlando Magic.

Early career

Wagner started his basketball career in the youth ranks of Alba Berlin. In 2013–14, Wagner played for the club's under-19 Bundesliga squad, [3] which won the German championship. [4] In 2014–15, he played on Alba Berlin's Bundesliga roster, appearing in four games of the German league, scoring 2.3 points per contest. [2] He also played in two Euroleague games during the 2014–15 season. [5]

College career

Wagner first came to the attention of University of Michigan head coach John Beilein in 2014 through an email from a former coaching acquaintance in Germany. [6] Wagner also used social contacts to forward a self-made highlight video to Beilein. [7] Ultimately, Beilein flew to Berlin to recruit Wagner. [6] In April 2015, Wagner announced his decision to attend the University of Michigan and play for the Michigan Wolverines. [8] By opting to go to college, he turned down an offer to play professionally. [9]
