BRANDAN WRIGHT

NBA Comparison: Kevin Garnett
Strengths: Extremely mobile for his size, Wright runs the court with great fluidity … Excellent help defender thanks to his long arms and lateral quickness … Does a great job of getting his body wide and establishing position in the low post … Emerging as a very good post passer … Possesses great shooting touch around the basket, he converts on hook shots and short jumpers with a soft touch … Great rebounder who uses his athleticism and long arms to obtain rebounds … Foot speed and footwork is incredibly advanced for his age … Because of this he can face the basket and get past his defender on the baseline … Recognizes double teams extremely well … He has yet to scratch the surface of his potential … Offensively Wright is an efficient player who plays to his strengths and rarely operates outside his comfort area … Moves well without the ball and is a threat to score on the quick lob pass … For a freshman Wright’s understanding of the game is exceptional … Possesses great hands and shows no problem catching passes thrown to him into the post …
Weaknesses: Must gain more upper body strength to withstand the physical play at the next level … Lacks the upper body strength to consistently finish after contact occurs … Could stand to expand his perimeter shooting, as of right now he shows the touch needed but hasn’t developed the confidence nor consistency to make shots from mid-range … Shooting mechanics could stand to be tweaked … Free throw shooting remains a work in progress, shows improvement but has yet to convert regularity. Should focus on less motion before his release … Can get disrupted and pushed away from the basket as his doesn’t have the body strength to hold position … Back to the basket skills are still in need of refinement …
