But it seems like the Mavs moved on. I wonder if will get some regular season minutes for the Thunder. Could be a great opportunity for him.
Wright looks like another gamble on the modern big wing/small ball big body typ. Brings the necessary measurements and athleticism. But I am missing NBA level skills. If I had to guess he is another T.Bey. Enough to put up big numbers in the g-league but not ready for the NBA.
I was also hopeful we would bring him back. He got injured at the worst time....right before the covid callups started. He would have had a great chance to get some exposure. I really thought the Mavs would prioritize bringing him back. I wonder if we had no interest brining him back as a two way or if he found a better opportunity? We will see if we have any plans for our two way spots.
The negative with him is age. He is older. He will be 26 during the season. There is also concerns if he is really a wing or if he is an undersized, not a great leaper 4. I thought he showed really good basketball IQ in his limited run here.
