8. Dajuan Wagner
Before LeBron James, there was Dajuan Wagner. The New Jersey native took the country by storm in high school, coming as close as one possibly can to a literal “scoring machine.” Aside from dropping 100 points in a single game, Wagner averaged 42.5 points his senior season on his way to becoming the all-time leading scorer in state history with 3,642.
His ferocious dunks and unmatchable shooting earned him a scholarship from the University of Memphis, but John Calipari revoked the offer after one year because he didn’t think his star guard should miss out on the money. Wagner declared for the NBA Draft and was chosen No. 6 overall by the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2002, but due to health complications and injuries, never re-created his success from his days at Camden High School.
