I don't understand all the hate for Wright. His D looked good in the preseason and his 3 point shooting is always a plus (which also looked good in the preseason). He's a vet. He'll probably get the start.
You do realize that of our first three guys off the bench, maybe first four, that none of them are 3's, right?
And those answers are: Wright and Claver I would bet money that Claver would put up nearly identical numbers as Batum (avg this year) given his minutes.
sure. But you must know Meyers is dying to get a shot at the 3, right? We've seen different bench players for 7 games. Wright, Claver, Crabbe or Barton can play the 3. If it were me, I'd start Wright and give Claver the 2nd option but something tells me Barton will be that guy.
His assists would be decent but not like Nic's because he would not be allowed to initiate the offense as much as Nic does. His scoring would not be as high because he would not shoot very often. His rebounds would be similar and his help D on the bigs would be good. But replacing Nic's D on PG's would be a HUGE loss.
I just voted for Crabbe. Yes I cheated. This has to be a major slap in the face to Wright. I like it!
