Additional Information
He is what he is and that's a solid, undersized scoring/rebounding forward. He has been a second-round pick and will remain one
Andy Katz - ESPN.com (June 11th)
The prevailing thought about Wright has been, ³heıs a tweener and canıt compete in the NBA at a power position.² In this camp, he has done everything expected of him and more. Despite the ³size issue,² Wright has piled up interior successes all camp long. ...

Strengths: Solid and strong inside player who once he gets his feet set in the lane you can almost chalk up 2 points ... Has the uncanny ability to make very hard shots in the lane with regularity ... Excellent post footwork allows him to set up on the block and seal off his defender... Tremendous work ethic a gym rat who always gives you 110% when playing on the court ... Has above average post skills and uses his variety of moves such as spins, ball fakes, and hooks shots to establish a scoring presence in the lane ... Wonderful rebounder has excellent technique such as boxing a man out and good anticipation skills that easily made him one of college's best rebounders ... Utilizes his strong body to draw fouls and get to the free throw line frequently... Good free throw shooter for someone who concentrates on playing in the post ... Understands what his limits are offensively and rarely takes bad shots ....

Weakness: Height is probably the biggest concern for any gm drafting Wright one has to wonder can he play the power forward position at 6-7 ? .... Viewed by some to have limited potential because his game looks as if he might have peaked near the top of where he can be talent wise ...Very limited range from the perimeter doesn't really look to score out there and rarely does he even attempt a shot .... Poor shot blocker due to the fact that he lacks explosive leaping ability and has poor reaction time ... Really doesn't defend well against players who play out on the perimeter .... Doesn't read double teams all that well this usually makes him susceptible to turnovers ... Poor passer you might as well call him a black hole once the ball goes in it doesn't go out... Average athlete doesn't really have super quickness or the jumping ability that many players in the NBA posses ...
