but yeah, b wright is an enigma, always has great advanced stats, and never gets playing time, on his 3rd team now so its not a carlisle thing imo...who knows
Big men with little skill level that don't rebound won't get minutes in the NBA. Wright gets 15min a game because he's not very good (it's his 6th season, 3 different team). Comparing him to Davis is ignorant and foolish.
AD at 19 is already a better rebounder and defender, and is playing more minutes than wright ever has in his entire career
The problem with Wright is that he blows up every "Advanced Stat Geek", and I am one of them. It' hard to stick up for Advanced Stats while ignoring Brandan Wright. His career Ortg is 120, with a Drtg of 106. His career PER is 19.4. His career WS/48 is .162, which is insanely high. Either his coaches are missing out on playing a guy who makes a difference, or the Advance Stats are lying regarding his game.
could be he is one of those guys who cant play more than a few minutes at a time? looks like he is in shape...
His main talent is being a guy that can catch lobs and convert easy baskets. It boosts his efficiency way up because of it. I just don't think coaches will ever get over the fact he's not very skilled offensively and is a poor rebounder. He's also a bit undersized at 6-10 210. Classic role player.
Or, he's just a guy that doesn't have a high skill level and plays within that skill level. Meaning coaches would rather have a player that is better at defense and can do a little more than make bunnies. Its not that he's not good, its just that there's not much he can do.
He's just 19.... He shows good form on his shot. He'll be a guy that will be able to knock down that 15ft jumper in the future. I'm confident in saying he'll be averaging close to 20ppg in 3 years or so. I can see a 20pts/10reb/2blk average for him. Bookmark this post.
y I was talking about why Wright's PER is high but he doesn't get minutes. I said I think Davis will be a fringe AS type guy.
Depends, how fucking stupid is David Thorpe? He was dumb enough to put Davis ahead of Lillard once when he didn't deserve it. Thorpe is the new Chuck Swirsky. BNM
