Was Delon Wright the best player available ????
I would of thought Portis and others would have ranked higher in terms of pure talent.
If you asked 10 people who the 20th best player going into the draft was, you would've likely got 10 different answers.

The only rookies he didn't play were Bruno and Bebe, and anyone being honest with themselves knows they shouldnt have been playing anyway. Ross and JV both played every game as part of the rotation in their rookie year.
I would venture to guess quite confidently that this guy was brought in to get an honest shot at backup pg, especially with Vasquez out the door. We had way too many "small ball" 1-2-3's last year, MU knew it, and this guy won't get Vasquez like minutes, he will probably be here to strictly relieve Lowry twice a game. Not saying we won't bring in another guy for insurance, or training camp competition, but I would bet my bottom dollar Wright will get an honest shot at it

Just 2 days ago masai implyed he made a huge mistake with his vasquez-lou matador backcourt. They draft a SENIOR point guard that the coach loves trade vasquez immediately, you guys don't see the plan? Masai freed enough room to bring back lou AND sign a marquee sf/pf. We actually need lous bench scoring now, he should mesh well with a pass first stopper.

raptors999 wrote: View PostThe biggest concern about Wright's transition to the NBA revolves around his outside shooting. He made just 38 of 126 attempts the past two seasons (30%), and is especially limited as an off the dribble shooter. Wright's pull-up jumper is virtually non-existent at this stage, as he sports a low and slow release on his shot, and gets little to no elevation, which makes it difficult for him to create separation from defenders. His hesitance to shoot off the dribble is something that better defenses scouted and were able to take advantage of consistently the last two years, sagging way off him, going underneath screens on the pick and roll, and generally mucking up Utah's offense
