2018 NBA Draft: 5 things to watch in the Sweet 16
By Max Holm
1. Robert Williams vs. Moritz Wagner
Michigan and Texas A&M is both one of the best matchups of the tournament and between two draft prospects. It’s unclear yet how much Robert Williams and Moritz Wagner will guard each other, but games like this are so valuable.
What’s interesting too is how different their styles are. Wagner relies on reading the game and skill to make up for subpar athleticism and speed. Williams is quite the opposite as an athletic leaper who does most of his damage on both ends inside.
Another interesting angle to watch for is how well these two bigs pass the rock. Both guys have it in their arsenal and should be put in positions to make good reads by their coaches. Should and will can be totally different stories, however, especially on the Aggies’ side.

Both guys are arguably their team’s most important player and will have a big say in how this game goes. Let’s hope for a good contest and another Williams windmill.
