4. Moritz Wagner, C — Michigan

Like DiVincenzo, the man Donte helped vanquish in the NCAA title game has shot up draft boards following a stellar NCAA Tournament. Wagner made the All-Tournament team after averaging 18.2 points and 7.7 rebounds per game over the last four rounds of the big dance. Most notably, he’s nearly seven feet tall and went 10-for-26 from long range over those six games after hitting 39 percent from deep over his final two college seasons.

At the moment, the Sixers have a fully actualized version of what Wagner could become in the form of Dario Saric, whose ability to stretch the floor is key for Philadelphia. The starting lineup with Saric in it had a scorching +21.7 net rating in 1,256 possessions, but in the 293 possessions the other four starters played without Saric, that net rating was only +2.1.

So what’s the point? Simple: The Sixers figure to go big-game hunting this offseason, and a sign-and-trade can never be ruled out. If that’s the case, Saric is as likely a candidate as anyone to be on the move, especially since he still has two years left on a rookie deal that will be attractive to many teams. Wagner wouldn’t be the worst replacement.
