What's new

Delon Wright Utah Utes

Hes about as close to horrible a shooter as you're going to get on a top 15 team. Some of his 3's miss the rim by a good 2 - 3 feet, sometimes I'm shocked they don't shatter the backboard. He's got a good feel for the game, but he is skinny, he's older, he's a solid but not great athlete, he's not a great passer .... I don't know. He does a lot of things pretty well, nothing great, and a few things horribly. I wouldnt mind taking him in the late first but I doubt I'd go any higher.

I fink u r way off. First he's an elite level defender as a pg he's an elite level rebounder at the pg spot he is a very good passer and has a high IQ leads the Utes in steals. He's a throwback pg in that he's a scorer that first looks to set up his team so he's not going to shoot as much as some pg's that can't shoot also very good at driving and finishing or dishing out for an open three but it's his defense that makes him great
 
MCW is a shoot first pg that relies on his physical attributes and not very iq savvy where as Wright takes what is given from the defense and has a conscience on offense. You'll never see Wright go 2-20 in a game. He's a pass first guard that can score and always makes the right play

MCW shot like 9 shots per game at Syracuse and averaged 7 apg.......

Wright shoots more shots per 40 minutes in their college careers than MCW did......


Wright seems like a poor man's MCW who plays more within himself (higher FG% and lower TO's).

His FG% is .517 so it's not like he is taking bad shots. The team is shooting .400 from the 3 on almost 20 attempts per game. Part of the reason they are shooting that well is because of the open looks they get. Delon's shots per game are by design. They are not the sign of a selfish player.

He is a very good defender, I worry about his weight against NBA guys though. I watch him quite a bit and I think he's a better decision maker than he is a great passer. He makes the smart easy pass, which is good, but he's not a great creator in that hes not elite in setting guys up and completing the tough pass. I think he'll be a solid backup.

Delon will be a very good pro. Elite defender, good rebounder for a PG, elite finisher, very good passer.

Delon will play in the NBA a long time. Right now, within 15 ft, he is money. His three point shot is bad. If he can fix that, someone will get a steal with him.

Worst case: 10-15 year backup.
Best case: very, very good starting PG. Borderline All Star.

Like I said, a MCW who plays more within himself. MCW wasn't selfish in college. He had some TO issues and wasn't the greatest finisher on drives and a bad shooter.
