Yes, Wagner is an absolute savant with drawing charges. He's leading the entire NBA in total charges drawn despite his limited minutes:

He's even drawn more charges than the rest of the team combined - he's not even far from doubling them:

Great stuff, Mojo!
Here's how Wagner looks on a per-36 minute basis (100 minutes minimum)

Only Cody Martin and Ersan Ilyasova are in the same stratosphere as Wagner when it comes to drawing charges. Wagner draws them at twice the rate of everyone else in the league.
