I watched most of the game vs HOU to look for this, and I saw something way different.
What stood out to me was that to my eyes, Wagler was not a SG sometimes playing PG. He is DEFINITELY a PG. He was very capable in running the offense against a very good HOU defense. Never got rattled. Also I have been a bit concerned about his strength, yet he held up against these guys. And his size is a plus.
Based on that game, if I wanted to draft a PG and was choosing between Wagler and Flemings, I would take Wagler over Flemings, and it's not all that close.
If you squint, can you see a path to Haliburton Jr? I dunno. But maybe, I think. And that's the appeal.
