Brandan Wright on ESPN right now

[BMiller52]

I want this guy on the Kings so badly. He is the perfect player for us.


actually it's half time right now but still, he's the perfect player for us.

im watching right now too. those 2 blocks in a row was impressive.

 

[BMiller52]

Yeah those were sick. He's also doing a good job boxing out and rebounding, atleast it seems like it. His athleticism is badly needed here. He seems like a good screen setter and he has made a few offensive moves but I think he deserves more touches.

Wow he has some long arms.

Also, he's going to have to hit the weight room big time if he's going to be an NBA power forward. 6'9/6'10" and super skinny is not going to get it done no matter how athletic you are.

Most high school prospects have this problem. I'm sure he'll bulk up like the rest. He's still a damn good player and in my opinion in the class with Oden and Durant. (although I'd take those two before Wright) He's very similar to KG in terms of his game and his body.

How do you explain Kevin Garnett then?? He isn't the thickest PF in th world.

Two differences: Garnett is 6'11"/7'0" and Wright is 6'9"/6'10", those couple of inches make a pretty big difference. And Garnett is thin, but Wright is Kevin Martin/Quincy Douby skinny. I'm not saying he can't put on weight, just that he's going to have to. He was getting pushed out of his spot in the post in college, it's going to be a real problem in the NBA.

I think he's got some great athleticism, unfortunately he didn't do a whole lot when I was watching. I need to watch him a few more times.

Anyone have a pic of Garnett in highschool, or as a rookie? I'm guessing if he's as skinny as he is as an a 11 year vet or whatever he is, he was pretty damn skinny when he was in highschool lol.

It's hard to judge Brandan Wright because he plays on such a good program in UNC with Tyler Hansborough, and he's unselfish.

I agree, he'll be a really nice player...but hopefully he works out poorly in workouts and his stock slips so we can get him...

I loved watching He-man as a kid. I didn't know Skeltor played basketball!

Hehe.
