Julian Wright is an absolute athletic FREAK! He really does it all on the court too. He is outstanding in the open court in transition, he's a very good rebounder, he's a good defensive player (blocking shots, playing the passing lanes, and staying on his man), he's a strong kid, he's a solid ballhandler, he always plays as hard as he can, and you'd be surprised by his court vision. I think the internet comparisons to Boris Diaw and Andrei Kirilenko are pretty damn accurate. I hope this kid comes out this year. He will be a top 5-7 pick, and he's going to be an excellent player in the NBA. He is pretty NBA ready right now, and his potential is off the charts.
The guy's obviously a great athlete, I've seen a ton of highlights from him. I just wish he'd take charge in Kansas and start scoring more. Scouts and analysts are going to rip him to pieces for not being more assertive...the same way they did with Rudy Gay last year. The guy has all the skills you'd want (strong, quick, athletic, passing, toughness in the post), he just has to take charge.
