so... I haven't visited this thread in a minute. I'm sure it's been discussed, and is now lost in this huge thread somewhere; so again, what do you guys think of Utah's Delon Wright? If GSW stays in the playoffs, do you think he's deserving of a serious look for their pick?

The more talented brother of Derrell Wright. Models game after Russell Westbrook and Dwyane Wade, and has worked out with both of them.
Strengths:
1. Athleticism
2. Ability to draw fouls and finish at rim (5.7 FTA's a game shooting .792%)
3. Shoots .598% from the field
4. Great height for PG at 6'5"
5. Can play at a fast tempo (important to maximizing Alec and Gordon's strength's)
6. Looks to get others involved (though only averages 5.4 assists)
7. Is active on the boards (6.8)
Weaknesses:
1. A little skinny at 178
2. Shoots 25% from 3 (though only takes 1.6 a game)
3. Although a freshman, he'll be 22 on draft night

Could be a nice compliment to Trey's game, since Trey struggles with fast tempo, getting to the rim, getting free-throws, and guarding/scoring on taller guards.
If the jazz drafted Wright then we would have to hear ute fans screaming that he should play over trey burke, and alec burks and how he is not getting enough minutes and he should play 48 minutes per night.
Dont want to deal with the circus of delonmania
