He got the ball a lot in the third I think but really was only there to dribble once and pass it. Like Dumpy said, get Wright to drive or shoot a couple times and you can get players to stay honest.</p>
Wright looks terrific. He's aggressive, confident, and his defense is really something. Hopefully he keeps it up.</p>
I think Carter in particular needs to get used to what to do. He was givnign the ball to RJ, Kidd, and on occassion, Boki. RJ and Boki nearly always shot or turned it over every time they touched it. I was paying attention, because, you know, I had just picked Wright up.</p>

Especially only 3 games in.</p>
