It’s been a long time since we got to see Brandan “The Wright Stuff” Wright highlights on this channel. A long time. Almost two full years. Injuries suck, and that’s what Wright has been experiencing basically his whole time with the Grizzlies. They signed him to compensate for the five-dunks-combined-per-year bigman combo of Gasol and Randolph, which was a good idea, until he decided he’d rather spend time in a hospital bed than on the bench.
It’s good to see that things haven’t changed much in terms of his play-style. Lobs are still a major component of his game. Lobs AND jams. He can also make layups, but with his length and athleticism, his opportunities to lay-up instead of throw-down are few and far between.
Totally unrelated: I wrote a really sweet description for a Wright vid a couple years ago, and hardly anyone watched it, which makes me sad, so here’s the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYoQ-Hh_V7o . I reused the concept in some later descriptions, in case it feels familiar.
