Where do you guys rank DJ in the class of 2023?!
Top 3
Number 1
Easy top 5 pick his shooting will be at a elite level when he get older and stronger 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
1
Based off the comp he plays and the numbers he puts up
I can’t tell if he’s playing serious 😂💯 the game seems easy to him
Humbled no celebrating after he scores or talking shit to his defender. Just let his game do all the talking.
So smooth, so under control. This kid is special
I like that he doesn’t try to always do something for the cameras. Makes the right play and is unselfish
he only a freshman that’s outrageous he is very poised / under control at all time he’s going to be a problem well already is sky is the limit
It’s dope that he plays at the same high school his pops used to play at he’s living up to the name and then some so far 4 sho !
I like how humble dj Wagner be
It would be great if he and LeBron James Jr. were to play on the same team someday. Their fathers played together on Cleveland Cavaliers during LeBron James Sr.'s rookie year. God had a plan for Dejaun Wagner Sr. so I will refrain from saying that what happened to a talent on his level having his NBA career derailed by Illness. Nothing can happen unless it's within the realm of God's will. That said it is a blessing to see that his son is enjoying success in playing the game that his father and grandfather excelled at. Willing that he is successful enough to get to the NBA and experience success in God's name as basketball player. If it is God's will then let it become reality.
Well said
Word is that of lebron would’ve signed with the sizers that was the plan for them to play together, that was the story around town.
Bob Anderson all things are working for our good in Gods name
@Bob Anderson "God is good all of the time ", " Nothing can happen if it is outside of GOD's plan. In the beginning was God and the word was with GOD ." "In his image and Likeness he created them" So if that's the the ONLY thing that GOD could create everything that has ever come into existence and is in existence and will ever come into existence was made out Mother/Father GOD himself/herself. And "if you take a drop of water from the Ocean , it has all the qualities of the OCEAN but not the QUANTITY of the OCEAN. " Oftentimes the challenging things that happen in in any one individual's life if approached in a peaceful and joyful manner will bring out of one's spirit whatever ability is needed and and whatever wisdom is needed to address the situation successfully. "GOD created death lest man forget about GOD", "Necessity is the Mother of Invention " . Challenging things happen to GOOD people to help them become even better. That's thewhole POINT of LIFE. You will Fully acheive your potential for whatever GOD has planned for you to the degree that you approach your challenges with the Vigor, Passion, and Conviction that comes from Peaceful and JOYFUL understanding and application of DIVINE LAW .
Like father, like son 🥶
And Grandson Graddad was beast aswell
So you're telling me that these are highlights of a 14 year old running the show on a 29- 1 varsity team???? He's the the real deal...High basketball IQ. 6'3 and long.. ... I'm thinking, Penny Hardaway!!
Yes,
Penny Hardaway 2.0
He is 15 I think but Facts
@@lulltrizzy2x he turned 15 in may.
He's not 6.3
He plays nothing like Penny
His the best for a reason put respect on his name
He’s very good plays mature and confident. You can tell how he squares up for his jumper and sticks the mid ranges he’s pro trained. He could play d1 right now off the bench swing sixth man. He needs to learn how to play point guard for real not high school point but next level, his handles could use work especially going right he ducks going right a lot. If he grows 3-4 inches, maintains that shooting ability and increase jumping ability he’ll be a solid nba player. I’m not saying star but a solid nba player he dosent play with pizazz he’s just a hooper which will get you 8-10 years or more as a paid pro. He also plays d with tenacity and carries himself well solid kid. He’s better than Mikey, when you watch dj every possession you think to yourself when he gets this or that he’s going to be even better. Mikey on the other hand is he’s fun to watch but the polish in his game isn’t there it’s like he’s peaked.
I agree on a few things, kid is absolutely mature and confident beyond his years, could use more ball handling I noticed as well he does have a tendency to duck when attacking but overall solid prospect. Can’t say I agree with you about Mikey tho, kid is also just as young and to say he’s already “peaked” with his game being the way it is at his age is a little ridiculous. Honestly pound for pound, player to player I give the slight edge to Mikey because of the advantage of athleticism, even tho DJ is a couple inches taller. However if both high school teams played DJ’s Camden would probably destroy Mikey’s team, I look forward to the eventual face off between them.
Mike Jax it’s definitely gonna have to happen at a camp or aau circuit. That is if we survive 2020
I'm just now learning "Juanny Wags" has a son playing at his former high school out there in Camden. I have a cousin that was a freshman there when Juanny was in his senior season. The stuff you heard about the dude was legendary and then you saw his highlights.... That dude was the absolute truth, he had it all, and I get sad when thinking of how his career got cut short. But, to see a resurrection of sorts through his son to carry on a tradition is pretty dope and something to be excited for. He's got those flashes of his pops in his game and looks just like him, haha. And, he's still only a freshman playing at that level. The kid's going to be a problem. Like father, like son.
I have told ppl that all of JERSEY heard about Juanie when he was a middle school phenom, knowing WHO his father was, The Jersey great MILT WAGNER, So we couldn't wait for him to enter highschool, And EVERYBODY and I do mean EVERYBODY had to go see him play atleast once in their lifetime, And 3,500 highschool pts later we still talk about him, And now because of his son,, Thats DNA at its best,
DJ IS A AWESOME PLAYER HE GOT GAME AND I KNOW HE IS GOING TO BE A GOOD FIT FOR ANY COLLEGE TEAM .... KEEP DOING YA THING .......DJ 💯
He's more like an off guard than a PG tbh. Hope he grows to 6'6'' or smth.
He plays like a pro tho, no wasted movements
He'll probably grow to 6'5" like his granddad Milt 'Ice" Wags
He looks like klay but he’s able to attack the rim as well. Looks like a very complete player
Z Harris yea I disagree too lol
his game has nothing in common with klay
This young boy the truth! I look at him in the light of the best players in the nation regardless of class!
Best High school prospect along with Emoni Bates I feel regardless of class
KENTUCKY 🔐 . 10000%.!! G-league is the only obstacle that stands in the way of it.! Coach cal coached his father at memphis.! & he is a die hard uk fan.. Cant wait to see this kid grow. Already 6"2. Id say hes 6"5 by the time hes ready to head to college.!
He'll grow to at least 6'5" like his granddad Milt! By the time DJ grads HS, the draft rule will change back to right from HS.
I ❤️ SLAM
Future #1 pick
elite!!
I can see why he’s ranked number 1 he work hard, and can dominate the shot, the drive or the euro 🤮 it looks so effortless 🌊🌊🌊
DJ is a very special player. He will continue to grow on & off the court. I expect him to peak at 6'5" like his granddaddy Milt. He won't play a game in the NCAA because by the time he grads from HS the draft rule will change.
His father was the best HS Ball Player I ever saw. His son is very polished! Cross between Lou Williams and Jamal Crawford.
Just like his dad but smoother
His game reminds me of Bradley Beal
I said thee exact same thing.
I see Penny Hardaway a lot in his game
Penny was a PG, DJ more of a SG
Kd
Good shooter 👏
Plays like Brad beal
It shows that u don’t need to be Uber athletic or flashy to be great at basketball
Y’all never film the aggressive cities where dudes really playing to make life better for themselves or someone they care for
why u hating. DJ averages 20 ppg in a team that went 29-1. relax ur not gonna get anywhere hating bro
Can anyone tell me about Omaha Biliew and why he is the #1 ranked in the class of 2023 over Mikey williams and Dj Wagner?
He’s not that good our school played him and he only scored 4 points
potential
@@calebedwards4067 did u see his coach? dont act like his coach wasnt putting him on the bench for no reason.
Better than mikey Williams. Don't @me
@Tomasso Bernich
@@yesmymajestybut898 you spelled my name wrong...
I'm with you
Dang it
That’s a fact
😂 he went to my high school
All u Mikey fans this guy is ranked 1 over him.
I dont know if hes better than mikey with eye test but he can contribute way more to his team by not doing dumb stuff and has great size and skill for his position
He’s better
I love the fact that this lad doesn't flex on his rivals after scoring, that's why he's number one.
can't help but compare the way he behaves on court and the way mikey williams behaves as well.
tha tkid is full of ego even tho he's never faced real competition.
fuck the hype.
Come to Memphis like your dad
DJ actually plays more like his Grandfather Milt than his Father Dejuan.
Anyone who says Mikey is better than this kid doesn’t understand basketball at all
RIGHT! I said the same thing.
@@beansamillion3961 they’ll learn hopefully. They caught up on highlights instead of the actual game and their skills
GA or FL
number 5 looking like Kareem
Big hs basketball channels like overtime, ballervisions and ballislife spend too much time d riding and overhyping mikey with his athletic dunks on no comp teams and "77 POINTS oMGH" shit. That stuff blew his head up and he expected to be #1 just like he "always is". He lands #3 instead and gets upset and salty that he didn't get #1. Many would kill to be even top 10 in the rankings. Thats the typa shit that makes people like him deserve even lower than 3, cockiness is the main thing I hate in a player. DJ is just a humble dude who enjoys playing basketball with his team and brothers, and doesnt look at his #1 spot as hype or anything like that. Players like that deserve to be #1. Not no dude who always wants to be the center of attention and expects it all the time.
I do still think Mikey is a skilled player, but the thing I hate about him is that he seems "fake humble". He seems to only act humble on camera but I bet deep down/off camera he's something like "I am the best freshman basketball player ever, no one can compare to me." But who knows, that's the kinda vibes he gives off to me.
He ranked no2 Mikey is ranked no3 the number 1 is ohamo billiew
Nope He's 1
Got to do research on O.B.
DJ is solid.
Just saying.
More player from 2023 class
Mikey Williams disliked this video for sure😂
He’s better than Mikey Williams if you ask me
Come to Gwinnett in Georgia or Atlanta these boys are weak don’t know how y’all hype someone up playing competition like this
He way better than mikey
Why dude looks like Randy from The Wire lol but nah he can play 💯
Ice man
So Y'all Tellin Me Dat Dj Is Better Than Mikey? Smh
Im watching like ok. He's really good. ...but i don't know.
Neo I Just Don’t Think He’s Built Like Mikey , He’ll Do A lot Less More Than What Mikey Do & Can Do ; Not Sayin He’s Not Good Or Any Of Dat But My Opinion I See Mikey Overcoming Him.🤷🏾♂️
@@iso-mxvement9963 Mikey is a great athlete, solidly built, and has basketball skills, BUT he is not the plyr D.J. is, the skill level is smoother (less wasted energy/movement), D.J. ability to score from all three levels at a high efficiency rate is better, his decision making (making the right reads) and attacking or passing) is on time, the willingness to involve EVERYONE is selfless, and his determination/intensity on defense is obviously noticed, His game is smooth and makes it look too easy, Let me remind you that he was invited to the 16u USA workouts at 14 yrs old, making him the youngest there, and he showed why he was invited, he was and is the leader of his Camden High team, that was the top ranked team in JERSEY, and nationally ranked as well, playing a national schedule, with a 29-1 record, His basketball DNA goes back to his Grandfather, The Jersey Great Milt, and then Juanie ( Dajuan) the father, Both were Highschool All Americans, College All Americans, and Milt winning a National Championship with Uni. LOUIVILLE, and a world champion with the Lakers, DJ is a pure bred combination of both of them, The Wagners and the Hurleys are Jersey Basketball Royalty, make no mistake about it,
People are mad because D wag is boring to watch
The son of Mr 100 ok yeah you know he special I bet he be better than D Wade punk ass son not the kid but his dad and lil Lebron better than a few others hope he gets the hype and keep pushing and putting in the work on D because you know we go score look at his dad him and the Bates kid will be fun to watch as a basketball fan hope one end up being great and go to my sorry ass Cavs
Bates is the truth
Mikey is the best freahman
Not better than Mikey 😭😭
He talented buhhh.... better than mikey? Nah (My opinion)
DJ Wagner plays like or better than Michael Jordan. realtalk
😂 That’s what I thought - he’s kinda like Mike in the way they approach the game. Both gonna score at will and Dj has that drive to be the best. And he still gonna grow 6’5/6’6.
dj is good. But better than Michael Jordan? LOL That's a completely different tier than any player you've ever seen
LMAO. Mikey better than this cat bro foh
no, not at all
I'm really not that impressed because I see alot of flaws and lack of effort but I will say there is alot o potential 💯
I bet he won’t be the best senior? Who cares about a sophomore??
If bronny get to 6.8 its over
first
2nd*
He definitely not better than Mikey Williams
he is
Ayy bruh is nice, but y’all think he better than Mikey? 🤔
Besides athleticism I think DJ is definitely better than Mikey. Mikey has more hype because he gets posted by every big channel but I think DJ is better all around and plays way better competition as well
shaq430 Mikey is better all around and would be more valuable to a team
@@lilkefka I disagree but time will tell. They're both freshman so I'm definitely looking forward to how they both develop in 3-4 years from now. I personally think DJ is better now and has more potential but we'll see.
All he does is get lazy buckets
Mann for me bronny is better than him
