Wagner: "The difference between the NBA and the Euroleague is minimal"

The eternal debate that arises after every major FIBA championship has been significantly fueled by Franz Wagner. The Magic's forward shone throughout the Eurobasket 2025, but after becoming champions, he spoke highly of many of his teammates, especially Isaac Bonga.

After witnessing the level of this player, and other men from the German national team, it's impossible not to wonder if many of them would fit in the NBA. When questioned about it, Franz Wagner was decisive, focusing particularly on Bonga, who is under contract with Partizan Belgrade but whose performance during the continental competition could change his future, becoming an efficient 3&D player.

"He deserves to play in the NBA, and I believe he will. He's capable of it, just like many other European players, because the current gap between the NBA and the Euroleague is minimal. If you can shoot threes effectively and have good athletic condition, you have every opportunity to be significant in the United States," stated Franz Wagner, who will enter the new season with Orlando Magic brimming with confidence.
