Positives:
Wright possesses a very long wingspan, can run the floor like a gazelle, and has a high basketball IQ. He has a good post game with excellent touch on his shots around the basket. He can pass very well from the post as well. Wright also utilizes his foot speed and lateral quickness to get past his man when Wright faces him up. Wright uses his length and athleticism to bring down a ton of boards.
Negatives:Wright needs to gain some more upper body strength as he won't be able to rely on his quickness and wingspan to get boards all the time. His post game needs to be tweaked in order to take advantage of his shooting touch.
Overview:Wright has almost as much upside as Greg Oden and Kevin Durant, but falls just below the dynamic draft duo. As Wright get stronger, he will emerge as one of the better players in the league because he has the phycial tools and the smarts to succeed in the NBA.
