NBA Comparison: Boris Diaw
Strengths: For his size, he is a tremendous passer able to make impressive plays … Unselfish player who gets his teammates involved in the offense ... Excellent court vision, sees the floor with ease … Smart player who doesn’t force things. Waits and lets the game come to him … Possesses the ball handling ability to take most opposing forwards to the basket … Has a quick first step which allows him to gain separation from his defender … Combine that with his assortment of crossovers and change of speed dribbles … Excellent athlete who is a great finisher in transition … He possesses long arms and quickness which enables him to disrupt passing lanes … Adequate shot blocker who is a threat as a help defender thanks to his solid lateral movement … Has improved greatly as a rebounder by improving his fundamentals instead of just relying on his athleticism as he previously had … Clearly has expanded his shooting from mid-range and has the ability to hit from the perimeter … His versatility creates mismatches for opposing teams … While his skill set reminds you of a finesse forward, he is a tough minded player who doesn’t shy away from contact …
Weaknesses: Can almost be unselfish to a fault in that he doesn’t take control of the game offensively … Must continue to increase his upper body strength to aid him in finishing after contact occurs … Perimeter shooting is a work in progress. While Wright has the ability, he remains streaky … Still isn’t what you would call a consistent performer, often he will follow one spectacular performance with several sub par games … Has a habit of going for the spectacular pass which can cause turnovers … Adding improved back to the basket skills would allow for him to really expand his offensive game … Free throw shooting continues to improve but remains a work in progress …
