Wow. Thought he'd cost more than that. We still got like a mil left + ~2.7mil exception. JO would be perfect and another PG on the cheap probably and we're set.
Wow--I'm shocked. This is really turning out to be a fantastic offseason. We're going to have an entire bench lineup of players who don't suck!
Strengths: He has a long wingspan and rebounds well for his position. Can shoot pretty well from mid-range and deep. Defense is good and improving. Solid floor vision and willing passer. Becoming Batum basically. Weakness; attacking the rim (which I wanted a SF who would do this)
37% career 3-point percentage (on lots of attempts) isn't bad. Here's a somewhat pessimistic view of D Wright from rotoworld.com: http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nba/1059/dorell-wright Blazers agreed to terms with G/F Dorell Wright on a two-year, $6 million contract. Now three years removed from his fluky breakout season in Golden State, Wright will slide in as a rotational wing in Portland. Wesley Matthews, Nicolas Batum, C.J. McCollum and possibly Allen Crabbe will all be getting significant on the wings as well. Wright shot just 39.6 percent from the field and averaged 9.2 points a night for a depleted Sixers team last season. He got outplayed by Damien Wilkins. Jul 6 - 1:55 PM
Dorell Wright @DWRIGHTWAY1 Baffling to me how he'd bypass the chance of playing for a contender to come to PDX. Good work, Neil. http://sports.yahoo.com/news/nba--blazers-signing-dorell-wright-to-two-year-deal-181717996.html
This is pretty accurate. Hes a very good spot up shooter and solid- but not that great- defender. Pretty weak handles and absolutely cannot force his way to the rim, usually prefers the path of least resistance which is pulling up for a mid-range J. He can pass it decently and will make some really slick plays from time to time, but mostly hes a 3 and D guy who can get scorching hot from 3 and nail like 8 on a good night.
Good move so the Blazers don't have to rely on Crabbe and McCollum so much Should be plenty of minutes
