They are the same size (Wagner actually has 5 lbs on him) playing same general position. Wagner is a dynamic, playmaking, defender who can hit 3s & has no problems around the basket. Predictions are that he is late 1st round.. exactly where it's expected Jontay will be. Wagner is more polished, more athletic & extremely high-energy. He alone may have pushed Jontay to 2nd round. The center from Wake Forest may also push him back a spot.
I understand the potential Jontay displays, but he's really rolling the dice if he goes for this year's draft. He clearly needs another year. That extra time could make him a top 10 pick. Obviously he needs to follow his dreams, but he just ain't ready for the NBA grind. If he goes, I'm sure he'll end next season in Europe (albeit with an NBA contract still intact).
Good luck to him, which ever way he decides, I'll always be a big fan.
