John Calipari: "DJ Wagner is the easiest guy to coach on this team"

Freshman guard DJ Wagner didn’t have the best showing against Texas A&M-Commerce. 11 points and three assists (with just one turnover) on 5-13 shooting is a solid outing, but more is expected out of Kentucky’s five-star floor general. He missed a handful of shots around the rim, air-balled a three-pointer, and was burned several times on defense.

But head coach John Calipari isn’t concerned with Wagner moving forward. Why? For starters, we’re only two games into the regular season. It’d be more shocking if Wagner didn’t struggle at times during his first few college games.
