Moe Wagner GOES OFF in first NBA start
finally some good news, Moe got his first career start tonight with the Lakers and a game.
22 points, 6 rebounds in 34 minutes.
Pretty cool to see Lebron assisting on a Moe 3 pointer. Proud of him. Hopefully we get his brother for next season.

I love to see this. If he keeps doing this i might have to make my first laker game. He has owned staples center before sp why not.

Yeah...what a jerk he is for leaving early.
Did... Did he say that?

I can't imagine they would have played Teske and Wagner at the same time this season as a base offense. I assume Teske would have remained the back up 5.
Wagner was ready to move on
I like to imagine what it would've been like if DJ Wilson had came back and was on last years squad

Awesome start. Good for him.

Ok I promise not to turn this into a depressing thing, but Moe was such a big reason we beat MSU last year. Having a big that can draw out their centers to the three point line opens up driving lanes. I was so sick watching all of our layups get swatted into the second row because Tillman was just there waiting. Teske is great, but he is not a good matchup against MSU
...and Teske is an even worse matchup when he gets in foul trouble and has to go to the bench. Castleton has a little something on offense right now, but he's got nothing on defense...and Brandon Johns is in need of experience, too. Both those guys should be redshirting or playing only garbage-time minutes.
I disagree about Castleton's defense. He has definitely shown to be the best freshman on defense imo. He's shown awareness and nice lateral quickness. Needs to just bulk up
Wouldn't DJ Wilson be a 5th year senior now if he'd hung around?
Teske is great? I think this board overvalues how great Teske is. Like Zavier, he is limited and can be really average at times. Not a great scorer or rebounder and opposing centers have been successful going right at him. He is a decent role player at best.

He is a decent role player at best? Wow.
"Decent role player at best" is really going too far in the other direction. He's not great, nor is he is mediocre as you describe. There is a middle ground, you know.

And he does his postgame interview in a U-M shirt. Love this guy. Go blue!!
Yes, but damn them for not really showing it!!!
Congrats Mo!
Moe really seems like the guy that was able to put us over the edge last year. His enthusiasm and leadership was contagious even as a fan. I can only imagine how that was as a fellow player
Im glad he is FINALLY going to get some good minutes since Lakers are eliminated from the playoff contention and riddled with injuries
The Lakers and Luke Walton have done a piss poor job of developing their 1st round pick Mo Wagner. He hasn't gotten a fair shot all year. The Lakers had such little hope in Wagner that they traded Zubac for fucking Mike Muscala to play over Wagner. And what do you know his first start he drops 22 on 7/13
Also, His teammates have been garbage man. Lance Stephenson leaving him on the ground that one game. Lebron has been pretty harsh towards him.
I hope Mo proves all those downers and doubters wrong......and eventually comes to play for Detroit
Good for him. Got to wonder about the Lakers though... having a rough year by Laker standards.
Twitter is garbage
