PrepHoops Evaluation
Wagstaff is a typical stretch forward. He’s a knock down three point shooter and has made 32 threes in 14 games. He is very good off the ball and finds openings in the defense to get himself open. Wagstaff really needs to get in the weight room and add some size. We think he can be a very productive stretch forward at the D2 level.
