'''Dajuan Marquett Wagner''' (born on February 4, 1983 in [[Camden, New Jersey]]) is an [[United States|American]] professional [[basketball]] player who is a free agent.
'''Jason T Do''' (born on July 1, 1995 in [[Vietnam]]) is an [[Vietnam|Vietnamese]] professional [[basketball]] player who is a free agent.


Wagner is the son of former [[Louisville Cardinals men's basketball|University of Louisville]] and NBA player [[Milt Wagner]].<ref name=WarriorsSign/> Forced out of the league by debilitating health problems early into his career, he is currently making a professional comeback after undergoing major surgery to remove his [[Colon (anatomy)|colon]].


Wagner had a phenomenal career at [[Camden High School (New Jersey)|Camden High School]] and is perhaps better remembered for scoring 100 points in a high school game than his exploits at the collegiate and professional levels. He averaged 42.5 points as a senior, scored 3,462 points in high school (the most in New Jersey high school history, breaking former high school star Lorne Singleton's scoring record of 3,451 points) and scored 25 points in the [[McDonald's All-American Game]].<ref>Strauss, Robert. [http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9903E5DE103EF930A25751C0A9669C8B63 " IN PERSON; Hoop Dreams Revisit Camden"], ''[[The New York Times]]'', February 13, 2000. Accessed April 6, 2008.</ref>

He played one year of [[college basketball]] at the [[University of Memphis]] before being drafted with the sixth overall pick of the [[2002 NBA Draft]] by the [[Cleveland Cavaliers]]. Often compared to [[Allen Iverson]] for his scoring ability, he had mixed success in his rookie season; although he averaged 13.4 points per game, he shot only 36.9% from the field. Wagner was hampered by injuries and health problems thereafter. He averaged a career low 4.0 points in only 11 games played during the [[2004-05 NBA season|2004-05 season]], and was hospitalized for [[ulcerative colitis]]. The Cavaliers did not exercise their option on his contract for the [[2005-06 NBA season|2005-06 season]] and subsequently Wagner was out of the league.

His colitis condition was not amenable to medication and, after consulting with [[New York Knicks]] head coach [[Larry Brown (basketball)|Larry Brown]], who referred him to a New York medical expert, Wagner underwent surgery to remove his entire colon on October 25, 2005 at [[Mount Sinai Hospital, New York|Mount Sinai Hospital]].

In April [[2006]], Wagner began training with former high school rival, Omar Wellington at Nexxt Level Sports in [[Cherry Hill Township, New Jersey]]. During his recovery, he was featured in the ''Philadelphia Daily News'' and on Comcast SportsNet both reported that he would be attempting a comeback for the 2006 season.

On September 22, 2006 he signed a two-year contract with the [[Golden State Warriors]].<ref name=WarriorsSign>[http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=2598975 Wagner signs with Warriors after two years out of NBA]</ref> On November 20, two months after the former college star recovered from a serious illness to make an NBA comeback, the Warriors bought out his contract.<ref>[http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=2669233 ESPN - Warriors release little-used guard Wagner - NBA<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>

Draft Express, in a rundown of former NBA players, said that he would be moving to [[Dominet Bank Ekstraliga|Polish]] team [[Prokom Trefl Sopot]].<ref>[http://draftexpress.com/viewarticle.php?a=2215 DraftExpress: Player Movement on the European Summer Market<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> On August 31, 2007 Wagner signed a one-year contract with Prokom.<ref>[http://www.euroleague.net/news/i/15182/180/item Prokom signs point guard Wagner - On-Court - Welcome to EUROLEAGUE BASKETBALL<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref><ref>[http://www.prokom.trefl.com.pl/index2.php?page=eng&id=3098 Dajuan Wagner in Prokom Trefl!] August 31, 2007</ref>
