@Ryan Merkle...yep. I'm actually old enough to remember his grandfather. Milt Wagner '81 Billy Thompson '82 Kevin Walls '84 All three of them played at the University of Louisville. Louisville vs Memphis St 1986 METRO Conference Tourney Championship (FULL GAME) / Justin Bowen ua-cam.com/video/dNXtu-2vYlY/v-deo.html
His dad was the best highschool player in 2001 2002. Went to the nba and got hurt. I had the privilege of being his competition in the 90s as a 7th to 10th grader. He liked my game so much he got me on a aau team and thats when i knew he was big time and had clout. He had the east coast going crazy dunking from the foul line as a guard barely 6 ft. On big centers.

i can tell DJ has his head straight, he has his goals in mind and he’s working everyday towards it. I have no doubt he’ll remain as the #1 player in the 2023 HS class and will be in the NBA one day 🤞🏾
Nah he hone be in the league but nobody holds a freshman spot that long unless u emoni, by time senior year he still gone top 5 but somebody else gone pass him up
Probably not. It's rare that players hold on to top rankings for all of high school. The earlier rankings consists mostly of players that play for high profile teams or that have hit the radar nationally. As time goes on scouts get a chance to know more players in the class including international talent. Many of the best programs traditionally give little playing time to freshmen & sophomores. And some that jump up the ranks will be late bloomers that get a sudden growth spurt... The one thing you'll notice about the Top5 is that they tend to be of exceptional physical size for their position and/or athletically gifted. That's what gives them the projected higher ceiling. He's highly skilled and seems like he will be of good physical size & athleticism but not great and definitely not of unique.
Bro ong I felt this in my soul. He seems like a regular kid who’s not caught up in the hype and he acts in a way that makes you think he doesn’t know how great he is. Dude is humble and his family seems humble as well. Mikey needs to take notes.
Super humble for a #1 ranked player 🙏 it was nice to see how he really is knowing how quiet and focused he is. You guys are watching a future NBA superstar in the making
DJ: Ion care bout hype or rankings Mikey: I need dat #1 ranking and 1 million followers That’s why DJ got it over Mikey and is better than Mikey right now
To have a father , that has experienced the ups and downs of an athlete.As well as a grandfather, that can advise him.The sky's is the limit,for the youngboy (south Jersey/Philly slang).I can see him in the NBA in 4 years.Stay humble, keep listening,and stay eager to be , who you want to become.CMD...
Man, this young bull is the truth because he is so humble. I played with his grandfather Milt with the Miami Heat free agent camp and he was the same way. Our family spiritual father is Billy Thompson who played at Camden as well, they are all very solid people. I really think this is what makes him number one is the guidance along with the talent is going to make him a superior talent and appreciate everything that comes his way. Also, his father was a shooting guard but undersized however a killer who scored 100 points in a game and his grandfather was a big guard, but I really think he takes the best attributes from them two and you got one helluva player.
You can see that hunger in him. He's going to be a star & his skill level is great. You combine his mentality, skill, athleticism, poise, size together you have yourself an NBA star in the making 💫 🏀

I’m old enough to have seen his father be the killer he always mentions here... even if DJ isn’t the same killer, he’s still gonna be alright. He’s a blessed kid; humble, relaxed and focused. Good Job Juanny & Mom’s.
Your grandpa milt, gave me his wristband at a practice. Crawford gym.. I was about 14. My friends friend took us one night to watch Louisville practice. Milt was cool as can be. I even said, milt can you do backwards dunk, and he immediately did it. Treated us good. And I'm a Kentucky fan. Still got that white wristband somewhere.
People hear about Dujuan and how he was a HS legend and about his 100pt game but don’t really comprehend how tough he was in highschool until you actually watched him play up close. That’s when you become 10x more of a fan.
Man mad props to Wag, great dude, great family and i stilled the right morals and characteristics of hard work ethics in his kids. Flowers brother to you and your wife.
Damn D wags got a son. I remember when his dad was killing In Camden puttin up crazy numbers. Then became a rook for the Cavs. I thought he was gonna blow.
You can't help but want this young man to make it. Him wanting to be better than what people already know he is... you can tell he loves the game! Its in his blood and he's humble.
He’s got a good family. That’s important. The league gonna be in real good hands the next decade. These kids gonna be a year or 2 into the league in 5 years… 5 years after that… they’ll only be 25-26 yrs old. I’ll be damn near 50 and still loving hoops.
This is a very important video for everyone to see how much a father with Experience and leadership in his son's life and career. I believe that he can go further and complete their family legacy and accomplishments.
Wag was a different type of player on tha court I ever seen in my middle/highschool days (99/01)straight killa...also had a chance to run couple games wit his son very talented player...salute 🤜🤛
DJ DESERVES everything he is number 1 in the country and hes from jersey hes showing the world how us jersey boys work im 13 living in jersey playing basketball im good but hes showing me i can be way better
Finally this man needs some creds!! This guy is a legend,i think he is the same as my age and i just want him to know that "thank you Dj Wagner for being a dude im wanting to reach,ill be the best like you"
This is so cool. I knew this was Dajuan's kid from Camden being repped. What a good family and kid. Something about him feels so old school like a top recruit coming from the same year his dad was around. Way different than Mikey and Bronny who are as 2021 as you can get.
I'm So proud to been witness to these stories, being a cousin & hearing stories about Cousin Milt & me seeing Juanie progress & now looking at Dj its an honor as Blood to feel HISTORY IN THE MAKING‼️ This a different Vibe to Us "Centervillians".... 3 generations of🐐 🐐 🐐 "YALL DONT UNDERSTAND" kick ittttt .... in my Bernie Mac Voice 😍😍😍🏆🥇🏀😍🔥💯
Dajuan Sr is a great Dad. Ive seen so many parents go crazy about their kids in sports. The parents are more into the rankings and sports than the kids. Should be about loving the game, the best players are the ones that love the game.
I want to thank SLAM and any other platform that speaks on DJ Wagner due to the fact that our city doesn’t get much recognition and he definitely deserves it all!! 🍾🍾🙌🏾
NJ basketball is different very different I got cousins that born and raise in New Jersey Morristown and Newark they all playing basketball when they was in high school and just something different about dj following his dad and grandpa legacy but I’m rooting for DJ for sure to go to college get his degree and play basketball and make it to the league
Dj is humble I respect it

He seems like a very nice lil dude, but bro’s voice is menacing asf😂 you can tell that he’s trying his best to sound approachable tho
