We need another 2 guard scorer. Could be worth a camp invite to duke it out with Hodge. I read this article: Wagner waits for call from the NBA. Appears he's finally healthy. Only 25 years old.
He's not the scorer he used to be either. He was invited to the WArriors camp last year, supposedly finally healthy and 100%, but was not near as explosive as when he was at Memphis.

It's 15th man, but if he finally realizes his potential he'd be a good pick-up. I think it's going to be Hodge, but I'd like to see some competition there.
I would give a chance to Hodge over Wagner. If Hodge pans out, we could be looking at a Boris Diaw lite type player. If Wagner pans out, we are looking at Ricky Davis.
Both Hodge and Wagner are not the players they were in college because of gunshot wounds (Hodge) or a major medical condition (Wagner). Hodge might make the rotation. The more likely scenario is that he is 12th man or cut. Depends on his jumpshot.
He was a freakishly good high school prospect who left after only one year of college. I believe he had injury troubles which is what led him to his downfall.
