Moritz Wagner Embraces Disruptive Defensive Role With Nets

Moritz Wagner signed a two-year, $19 million deal with the Brooklyn Nets to serve as a veteran backup to Day'ron Sharpe. While not a traditional shot-blocker, Wagner aims to be an aggressive, vocal defensive disruptor under coach Jordi Fernández by applying pressure on ball screens. Excited about playing in New York, Wagner also commented on his brother Franz Wagner navigating their offseason separation after years of playing together in Orlando.
