2026 NBA draft thread

[Dirknows]

First time watching a game with Wagler.  I like him.  He does a lot of the little things. Engaged on defense.  Passes the ball. Doesn’t have as many wow plays as the other guards.  Illinois has a unique offense with a spread floor.  A lot of Wagler’s assists comes off passes for three.  Typically without deep penetrations.

His lack of explosiveness is concerning a bit, especially since he will be up against NBA athletes. If the goal is to have him become a full time point guard, I really worry about him defending guards with elite burst. Offensively he’s got a good shot and good vision. He may have more untapped potential than others as he had a late growth spurt and was not a highly regarding recruit.
