So the first connection between Bronny and Wagner is the connection between their fathers. DJ's father Dajuan , was a 6'2" point guard, and legendary high school player in the 2000s, at Camden high school, after averaging 42.5ppg his senior year, Dajaun became New Jersey's all-time leading scorer, all while being named McDonald's All-American and winning several National Player of the Year awards, and is best remembered for scoring 100 points in a single high school game. Dajuan was a one and done, all-conference college player under John Calipari at the University of Memphis. And after setting the school's single-season scoring record, he was drafted 6th overall in the 2002 draft by the Cleveland Cavaliers. Dujuan had a solid rookie season averaging 13.4ppg, and the following year in 2003, the cavaliers with the #1 pick added LeBron James. So this young pairing of Dujaun and Bron were poised to become the Cavs' dynamic duo for years to come. However, as LeBron's NBA career took off, Dajuan's career went in the opposite direction. His production sharply declined because of injuries and serious illnesses. He later tried to revive his career with the Golden State Warriors and in Poland. However was never able to reach the same heights before his health derailed his career, in the interview, Dajuan has said that if he had stayed healthy, LeBron would have stayed in Cleveland instead of going to Miami.
Another interesting fact is that DJ's grandfather, Milt Wagner, was an NBA champion with the lakers, an NCAA champion with Louisville, and played for Camden High School. So if the DJ Wagner, currently ranked #1 in his class, makes it to the NBA, DJ Wagner could become the first third-generation player in NBA history.
Like Bronny, DJ gained hype before even starting high school. In the summer before his freshman year, he was one of the youngest players invited to the USA Basketball junior national team training camp. He is now following in both his father and grandfather's footsteps as a rising sophomore at Camden High School, in New Jersey, his team's coached by Rick Brunson, a former NBA player and the father of Dallas Mavericks' Jalen Brunson. Last season as a freshman Wagner led his team in scoring averaging 18.5 points per game, and his school in new jersey was ranked the 16th best team in the country by MaxPreps and ESPN with a 29-1 record, coming in one spot behind Bronny's Sierra Canyon. He did it while sharing the ball with four-star senior, Kentucky commits Lance Ware. Bronny on the other hand saw his opportunities limited playing alongside top senior talent BJ Boston and zaire Williams. Therefore only averaging 4.1 points in just 15 minutes per game as a freshman, But while Bronny's stats aren't comparable to Wagner's numbers right now. But this comparison still holds merit, because we ain't comparing them right now. What I'm trying to do is put you guys onto a comparison between two players we will be compared over the next few years.
Because Like Bronny, DJ projects to be a relatively tall and highly skilled point guard. He stands 6'3" and reportedly has a 6'10 wingspan, which combined with his athleticism and speeds automatically puts him on NBA radars. He is an ambidextrous ball-handler and a versatile scorer, with the ability to drive to the hoop and knock down three-pointers. At this point, he's a better scorer than Bronny but is also a capable playmaker. Wagner's has been praised for his maturity, work ethic, and a high motor. Assuming the one-and-done rule is still in place when he graduates, there is a good chance that we see him play at Kentucky under John Calipari, who as we mentioned earlier coached his father in college.
