If DJ Wagner stays healthy he will be a problem this year.

Actually Briscoe, or Andrew Harrison aren't bad comparisons. Although they are a bit bigger than he is. And he's about in between the 2 of them when it comes to shooting.
Briscoe was a master around the rim for someone 6'1 and below average D1 athletic ability

Im getting just about tired of the Briscoe slander around here. Ive dealt with it for nearly 10 years now. You guys are skating on thin ice
 
Is it crazy to think that an SEC All Freshmen-team player would be a decent player in their sophomore season?
i dont 'hate' wagner. i think he is a good player that was hurt most of the year. but i also think he is a player that is one dimensional, cant shoot and matured early and people caught up with him. will be, and has been, exposed by good defenses
 
I think Wagner will have a better year than last year. He is a pretty good defender and I think he'll probably finish better around the rim for Arkansas, but his outside shooting will always be a problem for him. He will be a good (not great) college player.
 
I don't wish him ill will (except when playing us).

But he needs to learn to finish at the rim. I've never seen that high of a recruited player miss so many layups. Killed us time and time again last year.
 
I don’t care. He left, good luck to him but I’m not going to pay much attention to him aside from casually watching games
 
When we play Arkansas, we should be able to draw at least 5 charges that game. On offense we should drive the ball because they will not know how to draw a charge, they won't practice that, instead rely on athleticism which will get exposed by a good coach.
Unless he developed a legit 3 point shot then defenses will just do what they do and collapse on him. Especially one that knows how to play zone.
I don't recall a single instance when Cal turned a non-shooter into a shooter. Because DJ's court speed allowed him to blow by most high school opponents for layups, he never took the time to develop a shot and I don't see Cal turning that around.
