He is by far the best rebounder, he's surprisingly good at sliding down from the wing to double and contest shots, and he doesn't do anything stupid.
Wright, on the other hand, is 12 pounds of stupid stuffed into a bag designed only for 2 pounds of mild inanity, and while Belinelli is a very good shooter and passer we need those skills with our reserve group (which is somewhat passing-adverse) more than our starters, IMO.
Wright is really that bad? Even defensively? I don't really pay attention to him. I do know he's really stupid on offense but I thought the other side was his expertise.
He can be good defensively, but he has a habit of doing indefensibly stupid things...like allowing Bonner to blow by him for a dunk. As a result, his defensive stats aren't as good as you'd expect.
Still not on board with all the Wright hate around here. I think he has contributed to the team nicely so far.
