As the first part of a two-parter, we're checking out one of the hottest players rising to near the top of the second tier: Keaton Wagler of Illinois. This jumbo sharpshooter combo guard has been lighting it up this year, and we get to break down his game with a good level of nuance. It wasn't just glowing reviews, so tune in to see why.
