Nickname:None
Primary Position: Power Forward
Secondary Position: Center
Height: 6’10
Weight: 210 LBS.
College: North Carolina
Draft: 8th pick in the 2007 Draft by the Bobcats, but was later traded to the Warriors for Jason Richardson

Career Averages: Invalid(Do to being a rookie this year)

College Stats: 14.7 points per a game, 6.2 rebounds per game, 1.8 Blocks per Game, 1.0 Steals per a game.

Strengths:

Rebounding and Wingspan: Brandan Wright is a forceful rebounder. Wright already a 6-9 power forward gets some more help from his 7′3.75″. With the 7′3.75″ wingspan at power forward it helps out against other power forward’s because they are not able to have the wingspan that he has.

Athleticism: For Brandan Wright being 6-9 he is extremely athletic. He moves like a shooting guard with a power forward size. He is not the biggest guy on the court which can really help him at some times and will hurt him sometimes as well. This is one of the times it helps him out because when your 6-9 and you can move like a small guy it’s going to help you get to the dish a lot easier. He is able to slash a lot easier, drive, get into the lane, and fast break offenses.

Consistency: Brandon Wright is not one of those players who is just going to have a few good games and then he does have a good game for another week or so. Wright stays on top of his game at all times. He will get some games where he is not going to be what he can play at though, which happens to everyone.

Court Smarts: Wright knows what goes on throughout the game. He knows what’s happening, when it’s happening, and what his importance is. He has a very high basketball IQ and he is just going to be a rookie this year.

Weaknesses:

Readiness: We all know that Brandan Wright was a great player in college and that’s why he was drafted number eight, but I’m not sure if he is going to be ready to start right away. For some rookies they can just jump right into the NBA and they do great, but for some others it takes them some time. This is probably going to be the case for Wright.

Weight: Brandan Wright is a bit on the smaller side for a power forward. He will hopefully start to bulk up though not it’s going to be harder for the guys who were rebounding over him and powering through him. He is only 210, which might seem like a lot but he is very tall and skinny.

Bottom Line:

Brandan Wright is a great player and fits perfectly with the Warriors, but it’s going to take some time for him to get used to play. With his big wingspand, and his athletic ability Wright is going to be a great player in the pros someday, but it’s not going to be right away so give him some time, and he is going to be what you guys thought he would be, and should be.
