For those who don't know DJ Wagner, now is the time to familiarize yourself.
Wagner is the No. 1-ranked player in the high school class of 2023. He's a quick and cunning combo shooting guard, standing at 6-foot-3 and 165 pounds before his senior year at Camden High School in New Jersey.
The 17-year-old is a three-tier scorer who does most of his damage attacking off the dribble, able to turn a corner to drop down and absorb contact to finish at the rim or stop on a dime and stop for a jumper. . His pace is impressive for his age, always playing within his game with excellent body control.
Opponents can't speed or slow him down as he changes gears and directions to get past his matchup, take on defence, or use other advanced shot-making moves to create space and bring a step-back jumper.
He is a bulldog with a sleight of hand and a competitive attitude from an owned family of hoopers.
His father, Dajuan, is widely considered one of the greatest high school players of all time. He averaged 42.5 points per game and even dropped 100 points in a single game. After dominating in Memphis under head coach John Calipari, Dajuan became the 6th overall pick in the 2002 NBA Draft.
