Trading down to 3 and get Wagler would be a galaxy brain move if someone is giving you something serious
Didn't Ainge do that to get Tatum?
Yeah, not the sexiest comp and I don't agree with it.
It's hard to say who Wagler is like. Has a chance to be a really unique player
Elite shooter who is also an elite foul drawer and can play PG (and can operate as pass first or scoring), but is 6'6 and hasn't dunked all season.
Austin Reaves probably the best current player I see some of Wagler in, but Reeves was always a score first player and he wasn't nearly this good at 19.
AJ's main talent is his ability to get where he wants on the floor, imo. From there he can make straight-forward plays. I think he'll be fine with NBA spacing. Will Hardy is good at getting guys freed up.

Basically flip a coin between AJ and DP.
If you think AJ is comfortable being in Utah for 10 years and being the guy here, you probably take AJ.
You can tell he watches LaMelo Ball, imo. That's one of his influences. Oh, and Svi Mykhailuk. ; )

That certainly is a factor that you have to consider. He came to Utah voluntarily and is experiencing this place very differently than guys like Mitchell and Dwill that were shielded immediately. AJ has gotten the college and highschool experience where he is likely making some actual friends from being in class with people and on these teams.
No way is LaMelo an influence
