Professional career

Perth Wildcats (2009–present)

Out of college, Wagstaff was set to sign with the South Dragons, the reigning NBL champions. [11] After the team folded in May 2009, [11] he had a one-game stint with the Canberra Gunners in the South East Australian Basketball League [12] before signing a two-year deal with the Perth Wildcats in June 2009. [13] With veteran centre Paul Rogers injured early in the 2009–10 season, Wagstaff benefitted from the increased opportunities afforded to him in Rogers' absence. [11] He averaged 9.0 points and 3.6 rebounds in 33 games [14] and earned NBL Rookie of the Year. [15] He helped the Wildcats win the 2010 championship with a 2–1 grand final series victory over the Wollongong Hawks. [16]

During the NBL off-season, Wagstaff played for the Perth Redbacks of the State Basketball League (SBL). [17] In 26 games during the 2010 season, he averaged 21.1 points and 9.7 rebounds per game. [18]

In December of the 2010–11 NBL season, Wagstaff sustained an ankle injury that forced him out for seven weeks. [19] The Wildcats finished fourth with a 16–12 record and lost 2–1 in the semi-finals to the New Zealand Breakers. In 22 games, Wagstaff averaged 8.4 points and 4.3 rebounds per game. [14]

During the NBL off-season, Wagstaff had an eight-game stint with the Perth Redbacks during the 2011 SBL season. He averaged 22.4 points and 10.8 rebounds. [20]

In May 2011, Wagstaff re-signed with the Wildcats on a three-year deal. [21] [22] [23] For the 2011–12 season, Wagstaff was named the NBL Best Sixth Man after a standout season off the bench that included a career-high average of 11.5 points per game. [24] [25] He also earned All-NBL Third Team honours. [24] He helped the Wildcats reach the NBL Grand Final series, where they lost 2–1 to the New Zealand Breakers.

[26] In 33 games, he averaged 10.5 points and 3.7 rebounds per game, while shooting a career-best 42.7% from 3-point range. [14]

On 8 May 2014, Wagstaff re-signed with the Wildcats on a two-year deal (with the option of a third). [27] On 24 October 2014, Wagstaff was involved in an ugly on-court incident with Sydney Kings forward Josh Childress. With the Wildcats holding a hefty lead late in the third term of their 84–63 win, Childress hit the floor after running into an off-ball screen from Wagstaff under the Wildcats basket. After getting to his feet, Childress responded by running into Wagstaff with a raised forearm just as Wagstaff got off a shot. The vision of the incident was seen around the world, as Childress was handed a one-game suspension and a fine for unduly rough play and bringing the game into disrepute. [28] The Wildcats' 2014–15 season ended with a fourth-place finish and a 2–0 semi-finals loss to the Cairns Taipans. For the season, Wagstaff averaged 8.5 points and 4.0 rebounds per game. [14]

On 13 December 2015, Wagstaff played his 200th game for the Wildcats, becoming just the sixth player to play his first 200 NBL games with the Wildcats. [29] In the game against the Sydney Kings, he hit all six of his 3-pointers in the final quarter to finish with a career-high 26 points in an 87–69 win. [30] [31] He went on to help the Wildcats qualify for the finals for the 30th straight year. [32] They finished second with an 18–10 record and defeated the Illawarra Hawks 2–1 in the semi-finals. In the grand final series, the Wildcats defeated the New Zealand Breakers 2–1 to win the NBL championship. [33] Wagstaff appeared in all 34 games for the Wildcats in 2015–16, averaging 9.3 points, 4.0 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game.
