There was solid competition in that 3 on 3. Not great, but good. Jazz camp invite frankie ferrari was on one of the teams, for example.
I liked whoever it was that said he was Red’s son. Sounds like a good name to me.We have to get him a nick name. Can't imagine having to say or type Wright-Foreman every time we talk about him. We can start with JWF I guess.
Because it's HOFSTRA!
The lower schools in Division I never get a proper look. Wright-Forman is the first CAA player to get drafted into NBA in five years. It's an absurd practice to ignore the smaller schools and go for the big name programs...but those small school players can play. Lillard and McCollum went to tiny community technical automobile colleges but they sure can play, can't they?
The buzz around here in New York was that Wright-Forman was going to get drafted. Danny Ainge and his Celtics have been interested in him since forever. Ainge was at a Hofstra game, they brought Wright-Foreman in for workouts a few times... If Jazz didn't grab him in draft we knew he was going to be signed by Celts and brought to Summer League and training camp.
And, anyway, what you are saying is absurd. Why drafted at 50 and not 20? We are dealing with thousands and thousands of b-ball players in US colleges and global leagues. To get picked - even at 50 - is one hell of a remarkable achievement. Throw in the fact that he didn't play at a top basketball program/factory, and you'll realize that being selected 50th is something to really be amazed over.
Jordan, Chamberlain, Bill Russell, and Donovan Mitchell.
Hey, numbnuts, you play and do your best whatever the competition. I don't care if he played against The All Tyrion Little Man Squad, Wright-Foreman was voted MVP, not anybody else. If the competition was so weak, why didn't others get the MVP? He did. He excelled.
