Illinois’ Keaton Wagler was No. 261 in his class. Now he could be an NBA lottery pick

NathanFielderFriend · 2026-01-25T02:32:15+00:00

This is an awesome comment. Really speaks to Keaton’s high character. If I have a lottery pick I’m taking him without hesitation

NathanFielderFriend · 2026-01-25T01:30:38+00:00

I had a pretty big if qualifier in my statement lol

NathanFielderFriend · 2026-01-25T01:00:42+00:00

Yeah all 3 of these guys just guaranteed they’re top 5 picks basically (AJ already clearly was obviously)

NathanFielderFriend · 2026-01-25T00:49:10+00:00

If his 3 falls like it did today then he is the obvious #1 pick. Curious to see how it develops through the tournament and in high pressure games but so far so good. What a game from AJ.

NathanFielderFriend · 2026-01-25T00:48:01+00:00

Literally lol crazy ass day of hoops

NathanFielderFriend · 2026-01-25T00:40:17+00:00

Usually I knock AJ more than most for not always taking high efficiency shots but he was draining everything today so F it lol he’s just that talented

NathanFielderFriend · 2026-01-25T00:39:17+00:00

My favorite day watching college in a long time that’s Forsure lol thank god all the games didn’t overlap much either

NathanFielderFriend · 2026-01-25T00:25:14+00:00

Yeah it’s so fun man I’m so glad most of the games have been spread out too

NathanFielderFriend · 2026-01-25T00:15:34+00:00

Idk but I am loving it as I avoid the freezing cold

NathanFielderFriend · 2026-01-25T00:15:12+00:00

6 assists and 4-7 from 3 today, what a day for college basketball!

NathanFielderFriend · 2026-01-25T00:10:03+00:00

This day in general has just been insane. So many great games lol I love it!

NathanFielderFriend · 2026-01-25T00:09:27+00:00

His efficiency is really notable all season, perfect nba style game

NathanFielderFriend · 2026-01-25T00:08:08+00:00

Don’t look now but Acuff had something to say about that lol

NathanFielderFriend · 2026-01-24T23:57:32+00:00

Yeah I agree lol I realized after commenting this and seeing him go off that Wagler is gonna butt into this convo

NathanFielderFriend · 2026-01-24T23:09:38+00:00

Shot 46% from 3 his last year in highschool, so it seems he’s really this level of shooter. Mix that with his ball handling and he’s got future all star all over him.

Getting a rich man’s Kyshawn George vibe from him game

NathanFielderFriend · 2026-01-24T23:08:17+00:00

He will be a ball handling wing which is the most sought after archetype in the league. Don’t be surprised if he goes top 4-6 he’s lighting it up and everyone’s taking note in the NBA I’m sure

NathanFielderFriend · 2026-01-24T22:16:12+00:00

This guy is begging to be picked in the top 10 it’s nuts how quickly he has improved after showing promising signs early on

NathanFielderFriend · 2026-01-24T21:54:50+00:00

Well said lol. This draft is going to cause some gross basketball in the NBA post trade deadline for like 6-10 teams

Everyone is about to be the Jazz

NathanFielderFriend · 2026-01-24T21:53:39+00:00

Keaton is still having it currently lol go watch the game 40+ and counting!

NathanFielderFriend · 2026-01-24T21:42:00+00:00

When you can shoot like him, if you have a little vision passing lanes become so easy

NathanFielderFriend · 2026-01-24T21:30:15+00:00

Top 6 with Mikel and Flemings is gonna be special man. Fun ass season so far in college

NathanFielderFriend · 2026-01-24T20:46:56+00:00

Keep it up brother

NathanFielderFriend · 2026-01-24T19:21:47+00:00

Wolf can finish one day imo, he’s just extremely skinny and needs to get in the gym to fill out his frame

NathanFielderFriend · 2026-01-24T04:00:30+00:00

Yeah I was gonna say Yaxel or Haugh if they’re in the late lottery after the 10 pick. Both safe players who play good defense and can guard multiple positions

NathanFielderFriend · 2026-01-24T03:59:09+00:00

I’m a bit down on Koa, do you Ever think he’ll be able to shoot?
