Admittedly, Keaton Wagler has been one of my more puzzling evaluations this season. He’s clearly a good player. But how will his frame fill out? He plays tough, but does he have enough when it comes to scoring in the paint? If his best shot is a step-back three, does he do enough when his shot isn’t falling? I do buy his upside as a potential big guard who can really play on the ball, and that’s what’s kept a high grade for me. But I’ve gone back and forth about the highest outcomes in relation to the other guards he’s competing against in this draft.
Nathan Grubel with the latest on Wagler and it’s exactly how I feel about him. I know mvossman points out that he’s a late bloomer and so much unlocked potential but it could very easily be a one hit wonder case also. And his lack of strength, athleticism and shot diet keep him from being a legit NBA player…
