Moritz Wagner looking to be disrupting defensive force for Nets

But they did get a veteran backup to Day'Ron Sharpe. And a different look from any center they've had in years.

Wagner — signed away from the Magic , and younger brother Franz — isn't going to replace the departed Nic Claxton 's rim protection. He can't.

But he's going to be a defensive disruptor , playing a style under Jordi Fernández that may fit his skills better than Orlando 's — which relied on elite athleticism and rebounding — ever did.
