Franz Wagner saw steady growth in each of his first four years in the league. During his fourth season, he broke out and became a star, averaging 24.4 points per game before going down with an oblique injury. The Magic have a bright future now with Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner as stars and a very good point guard in Jalen Suggs. If they can stay healthy, they should have no problem contending for many years to come. 1/20/2025
