Wright registered 10 points (4-13 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-3 FT), six assists, five rebounds and two steals in 33 minutes during Friday's 98-87 win over G League Ignite.
EDGE Analysis
Wright struggled with his shot during his first professional outing, but he was able to impact the game in other areas. The 23-year-old's six assists were a team-high, and his two steals tied Brian Bowen and Marjon Beauchamp for a game-high. The 6-foot guard will likely continue to garner heavy minutes, but if he can't turn his shooting around, then his production will likely be limited.
