<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">MIAMI (AP) -- Dorell Wright is getting his opportunity this preseason. So far, so good. Taking advantage of a rare start, Wright had 13 points and 10 rebounds to help the Miami Heat beat the New Orleans Hornets 109-105 in an exhibition game Tuesday night. "I think I'm doing a good job of just playing the game, not making too many mistakes and just doing what I have to do -- rebound, defend and things like that," Wright said. Dwyane Wade scored 19 points and Jason Kapono had seven of his 12 points in the final 1:46 to spark Miami's game-ending 12-4 spurt that sealed its first win in three preseason games. Wright -- a little-used player in his first two seasons who hopes to earn a spot in Miami's regular rotation -- played a game-high 31 minutes, shooting 3-of-5 from the floor. All 10 of his rebounds were on the defensive end, and he added two steals and two blocks. "He made some very good plays," Heat coach Pat Riley said. "He still has a long way to go but I think he has a package there that could be very versatile for us."</div><a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/recap?gameId=261017014" target="_blank"> Read the rest</a> Nice to see Dorrell Wright have a good game. Earl Barron was also solid in 15 minutes, going to the line 6 times and droppin 12 points and grabbing 4 boards. I'm still looking for Simien to have a break through game though.
this is really good news. its great to see that our weaker players from last season are beginning to step up their game and at least be of some importance. because of this, it gives us even more depth and makes us an even scarier team, just what any team wants. then again, it is only preseaon, so we'll have to wait and see, but overall it sounds good.
