WATCH: DJ Wagner, Aaron Bradshaw lead Camden to blowout win in Frankfort

Jack PIlgrimby:Jack Pilgrim02/04/23

DJ Wagner and Aaron Bradshaw took the floor in Kentucky for the first time since their college commitments, participating in The Kentucky Preview in Frankfort on Friday. The five-star seniors and their Camden (N.J.) High School team took on Combine (N.C.) Academy inside the William Exum Center at Kentucky State University, playing in front of a crowd loaded with Kentucky fans.

In a matchup packed with blue-chip talent, the top-five prospects led their team to an 80-57 blowout victory, combining for 39 points in the win. Bradshaw finished with a team-high 21 points, with Wagner adding 18 points. Throw in a strong 15-point performance from new Kentucky target Billy Richmond III, a four-star wing in the class of 2024, and the opposition simply didn’t stand a chance.

It was an offensive explosion for Bradshaw, showing off a smooth face-up game that included multiple long jumpers, thriving specifically in the pick-and-pop game. He does things most 7-foot-1 big men simply can’t. As for Wagner, it was a quiet, yet efficient scoring night that saw him score with craft and touch around the basket while knocking down open catch-and-shoot jumpers. Richmond looked to attack and finished with purpose while also thriving defensively.
