DJ Wagner Jr. was a household name in the basketball world long before he ever stepped on the court in a college or pro uniform. Wagner is the son of a former Memphis star and NBA player Dajuan Wagner. Plus, he’s the grandson of Louisville legend and NBA player “Ice Man” Milt Wagner. DJ Wagner grabbed headlines first in middle school and on the AAU circuit for his high-end motor and defensive prowess. He led Camden High to the state title in 2022 and was named as the Gatorade Player of the Year in New Jersey. Wagner also built himself up as a major brand, inking early on with WME Sports for NIL representation while still in high school. During his time at Camden, he also executed NIL deals with Nike and Drake’s Nike sub-label NOCTA.
