Keep him. Right now, he contributes more to this team than Marcus Williams, Josh Boone, or Sean Williams. And if Marcus doesn't learn how to defend, he's should go instead of Wright.</p>
We'll right now Marcus is out, Sean is a rookie, and Boone is the chaotic mess we call 'our big man rotation.' Wright has to beat out Bernard and Hite to get minutes, and chances are one of those will be out by the time the season starts.</p> The future of this team depends much more on Marcus than it does on Wright (sorry Cpaw)</p>

That's why we should be putting more pressure on Marcus than Wright. Marcus is good, but if he doesn't defend, he won't be able to cut down Kidd's minutes. Wright's offense has time to develop because of Carter and Jefferson. Also, he's playing hard and contributing in the playoffs--something Marcusand Seanhas yetto do. Let's keep him for his defense and give him time to learn as the other guys. He'smerely ayear ahead and already he has Frank's trust.</p>
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (jarkid)</div><div class='quotemain'></p> Wright's defense is very very good, you could find many people who is better than him in offense, but hell no in defense.</p> He hustles in every defensive play.</p> You want another rookie? Sorry, you must wait him to develop, but Jason can't wait for thatlong.</p> </div></p> Haha, I like your avatar.</p>

He excels at zone defense. He's a great zone defender. He was even a good press defender in college. But he sucks at man-to-man defense, 90% of the time. Put him in a zone defense, and he's money. Don't, and you better make sure you've got some good help defense.</p> </div></p> Or in other words,Warrick wouldn't have played here.</p> Personally I still believe in Wright. His defense has always been there and still improving. His shot may be iffy, but he knows how to draw contact and get to the free throw line, which is good.</p> </div></p> What makes you say that? Frank used the zone especially because of Moore and Boki, because he recognized their talents and wanted them out on the court. Who's to say he wouldn't give the same treatment to Warrick?</p> </p> </div></p> </p> It seemed to me that they were playing more man, and using zone in spurts, but you are right Frank did adjust his coaching a bit for those 2 players. Not sure he would have done it for a rookie/sophomore though.</p>
