He needs to stop shooting. If not, he needs to find a place on the bench!
Wagner can’t shoot!
- Thread starter Gus Polinski
- Start date
We’d be up 15 if not for Milt’s Grandson!!!
0-6
That 30 foot three early in the shot clock and late in the half was selfish as F!
1 assist
He does absolutely nothing well.
Most overrated recruit in UK history!
Cal needs to sit his ass!

Not sure why anyone ever thought he was supposed to be some great shooter to begin with. He didn’t exactly light it up from 3 in HS either.
Plays more like Brandon Boston than DeAaron Fox.
Then why does he have the green light??
He doesnt impress me in any facet of his game though!
How the hell was he top 2or 3 in the country?!

You are the dumbest poster in UK history!
He really can’t do much of anything. He can play defense, but not really any better than the other guards.
All good, Reed will be back in after the halftime break. Cal knows more than the fans so he’ll get DJ’s minutes!
We truly have some scumbag fans .
Can't shoot?? Currently not doing anything especially well. I think he'll figure it out. Gotta play off the ball and learn to finish in the lane. I think he'll be ok down the stretch.
Come to UK as a top 3 recruit and play like absolute dog shi& and play us out of a potential 15 point lead v #1 Kansas at half because of selfish, boneheaded play and you are going to here about it from this one!
This aint Louisville!!
I said after last game and got roasted, we’re better with DJ on the bench. Can’t shoot a lick. That may change as the year goes, but right now, play Dilly.
He is now 11/31 FG and 1/8 3FG. OP is not being subjective here. It’s just reality.
I hope that's all it is. He seems to be a good kid. Maybe he's still trying to find his place, but Cal's is giving him a lot of clock time considering his play thus far. He's a dawg so I'm willing to give him time also.

Wagner is nervous, dude needs to relax and put some arc on his shot.
Reed is all around better player tan DJ right now, but he'll get better, needs to calm down and let things come to him.
But on Reed, is Cal the only one still thinking of Reed as a big player? Kid is one of the best 5 we have no doubt. Cal still seems surprised he does aa well as he does all the time
Wagner can’t even finish on the fast break and it leads to and-one on the other end.
Wagner has looked pretty terrible so far. Hoping he can drive and get some easy baskets as the game continues.
He was supposed to be the one. The alpha. The dawg. Something is definitely off.
Bad game but you have to learn to stop shooting if you aren’t hitting anything.
They all have the green light. It’s that “modern basketball” that everyone has wanted so badly. I don’t want to see people complaining now
Teams are going to stop guarding him outside and his only offensive attribute which is driving - is going to be eliminated.
It’ll happen soon with that 11% he’s firing up there …
Could become a liability if he can’t hit anything from outside.
yep...hes not a knock down shooter but he's better than he showed tonight. Biggest issue is he's playing uptight and frenetic and needs to calm down smooth out his game. Just cant play offense hyper, make the head swirl and shot jittery. Slow down, calm the eyes and the shots will start falling.
I don't expect him to ever be Brandon Knight from the perimeter but get him to steadily improve like Teague did, will take it as he is a much better PG. Will need him to start finishing at the rim after missing some easy ones tonight.
You've been saying the exact opposite about him for the last couple of months.
Wagner defends well: he was out of control on the offensive end it’s obvious he was nervous. He needed to be in down the stretch up 6 instead of dillingham. We needed to finish it out on the defensive end and dillingham was in foul trouble. The problem for Wagner is for him to be successful in big games cal is going to have to recognize and play who is on and who isn’t.
He can get to the basket and hit floaters. He has excellent D as well. He will be fine, but Rob and Reed are better.
*Edwards may be our most overrated in a while.

He shot the ball well in Canada. Have you ever heard of a slump? The kid is a player. Because of a bad night that is irrelevant some of you are writing him off lol
Cal would never bench him. Why? Because Cal chooses his line ups based on what they were rated in High School no matter how bad they play.
Cal will risk the UK basketball program to make sure Wagner succeeds.
This should surprise no one. Everyone knew this would be the situation when he recruited him.
He'll alienate some players while he does it too

No it isn't. You get skilled players to play that style. Not dudes that go 2/13.
I'd like to know who wanted that.
There is a huge difference in wanting 3 point shooters - aka Reeves and wanting players to have a green light. I think UK's fans reaction to Boston should have prevented you from making that statement
