Idk about that, Wright is a senior on a pretty good squad. He comes across as another Glenn Robinson III type.
He's iight. Needs to put some meet on them bones tho if he's gonna deal with the rigors of an NBA schedule.
Similar size, Wright is a better ball handler but Robinson is more athletic, both are decent-not great shooters but overall efficient players. Both will be rotation guys in the NBA, I don't see stars though.
Russell is gonna be legit but he should stay another year (or two) in college to beef up and hone his skills. He has potential to be one hell of a 2 guard that can ISO effectively.
Think B. Roy. He's 20/5/5 on 50 FG% and 45 3PT% (on 7 3ptA) - 61 TS% He does need to bulk up but they guy is young for his class (fresh.) - Roy was a twig his freshman year too.
Idk about that, those Michigan teams he was on had a lot of talent that was better than him, put Wright on those Michigan teams and you're likely to get similar results. On a side note idk how Michigan didn't win a chip with the teams they had, I know they got close against Louisville but damn...
If Draftexpress is correct, then Wright is in the range of where Portland will be selecting. He doesn't need to be a "star", but just a solid rotational player. I think Wright would be a really good fit next to Lillard & Matthews (switching between the 1 & 2). I think this will be a fairly deep draft. There are a lot of guys projected to be in the 20-35 range that I really like. Again, they will not be stars - but solid players... like a Chandler Parsons talent level (who was drafted in the 2nd round).
This draft is extremely deep, I agree. I really like Sam Dekker (looks like a potential Batum re-placer, long term) and Nigel Williams-Goss. If there is a player I'd consider moving up for, it'd be Justise Winslow.
Draftexpress has him in the 25-range... right about where Portland will be picking. Don't know how high you would actually have to go to get him. I think it's fair to say that we should have drafted anyone else. I was hoping Portland would trade down from #10 with either Minny (#14 & #21) or Atlanta (#16 & #17). I really liked Gobert and was targeting him. I also liked MCW (if we stayed at 10 ). In hindsight, I wish we would have drafted MCW and traded up from the second round to get Gobert. Note on MWC - I think we need a big PG who can guard a SG and who can play with Lillard. That is why I like Wright & Grant this year...
