It appears the end of the road may be near for DJ Wagner at Kentucky, as analysts are speculating that the Wildcats’ starting point guard could be on his way out. In a brutally honest assessment, one prominent college basketball analyst has predicted that Wagner’s time in Lexington is all but over.
During a recent segment on ESPN the analyst didn’t mince words. “Wagner has had his moments, but overall, he hasn’t lived up to the expectations that come with playing point guard for Kentucky,” he said. “With the way Coach Mark Pope is building this team, I wouldn’t be surprised if we’ve seen the last of him in a Wildcats uniform.”
Wagner, a highly touted recruit, has shown flashes of brilliance throughout the season but has struggled with consistency, turnovers, and decision-making at crucial moments. While his talent is undeniable, questions have been raised about whether he’s the right fit for Kentucky’s future game plan.
Fans are divided on the issue, with some believing Wagner deserves another year to develop, while others feel it’s time for the Wildcats to move in a new direction. Social media has been buzzing with speculation, especially with the transfer portal and NBA draft decisions looming.
Neither Wagner nor Kentucky’s coaching staff have made an official statement, but with the offseason approaching, all eyes will be on his next move. Will he transfer, declare for the NBA Draft, or fight for his spot in Lexington? Only time will tell.
