Does anyone believe Brandan Wright of the Warriors may turn out to be a steal of the 2007 Draft?

Question

If you looked at the games he started he played around 20 mins n got about a double-double every game.plus he waz carrying his weight against some of the elite and if you looked at em in the summer league u can tell he gained a lil bit of muscle.i think hes da next chris bosh

Answer 1

yes and also they traded Richardson because Ellis was Most Improved

Answer 2

David,

I truly think they got yourself a point.  Theres a reason why teh Warriors were willing to trade Jason Richardson for the rights of Brandon Wright.  He will become something special in my mind.  Not sure if Chris Bosh will be closer to the present or clsoer towards the future.  But i assure you Wright will get some minutes next season, i can see around 20 mins per game outta him.   Hopefully he continues to mature and grow and he can average a double-double if he were on the Sonics.

And just one comment on what you said, i would call him a steal neccesarily because i think he was drafted like 7th overall. lol

Answer 3

I don't think the Warriors feel the same way as you do.Why did they try to sign Brand ?

Answer 4

yea

Answer 5

I wish. But no, he won't be.

Answer 6

i wouldnt say next bosh, i also dont think he would be considered a steal.  he wasnt drafted low, if he does good, then hes doing what he was supposed to be doing.  the warriors pretty much gave up richardson for him, if he does gain some weight and get stronger, then he could turn into another kg type player, bosh is a kg type player.

im not saying he can be as good as either of them, but he can turn into that type of a player.

Answer 7

maybe

Answer 8

i dont see him being a Bosh or a star player at that. he looked good though. in a couple of years maybe a steady 13 and 8 player

Answer 9

Whatup David B,

Honestly the Warriors haven't played Brandan Wright enough- which is surprising considering they gave up J. Rich to get him.  

For me you can't just look at stats- and considering Nellie has mainly played Wright in garbage time- it's hard to accurately assess.  

i personally think Anthony Randolph has a better shot to be a "Bosh" type of player than Wright does -- but i think he can develop into a pretty solid player- i'm thinking more like a Dale Davis.

Answer 10

ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!

Answer 11

I don't know Nellie has to play him a bit more. If he does turn out to be a steal the Warriors should sign him to a longer contract like they did with Andris and Monta so the team is good for the next couple of years.  Hopefully Anthony Randolph will follow also then they will only need one more player (possibly Azubuike) to become a great team.

Answer 12

hes a little hesitant when playing, probably still nervous, but when hes out there he does protect the basket well, makes baby hook shots, the only mistakes he makes are rookie gold tending mistakes, he should be fine with 10-15 mins a game because i think he needs to adapt slowly until he feels comfortable
