It's not even a month out from the 2023 NBA Draft and a few potential lottery picks in the 2024 NBA Draft have already started to hit the court as some college teams travel overseas for summer competition with their new teams. Kentucky had the No. 1 recruiting class coming in led by Justin Edwards, D.J. Wagner, Aaron Bradshaw, Rob Dillingham and Reed Sheppard.
There was speculation on how Wagner and Dillingham would co-exist in the backcourt and who would have the ball the majority of the time. If this gold-medal run for Kentucky is any indication as to what's coming this season, it looks like Calipari has given Wagner the keys to lead this team.
Wagner finished with 13 points in the final game against Canada and averaged 14.8 points throughout the tournament. He loves his little hesitation off the dribble before using an explosive first step to get around defenders. There's always a learning curve for freshmen coming in, especially point guards, adjusting to the pace and physicality of the game, but
"I'm going to do whatever is asked of me next season," Sheppard told Yahoo Sports in February."Whether that's scoring, passing, getting water for my teammates during timeouts, whatever Coach Cal asks me to do, I'm going to do as best as I can. I'm ready to get to work and help this team win games and help my teammates get better."
