The young point guard is expecting former Utah star Jakob Poeltl to make a leap next season.
“I expect a lot from Jak,” he said. “He’s going up for that backup center spot. I just think the more he learns, the better he gets. I think this year he’ll really turn some heads and show all the hard work he’s put in.”
Wright expects himself to make a big leap, too.
As he prepares to shoulder a greater responsibility next season, Wright has spent his summer in Los Angeles, laboring to improve his 3-point shooting (he shot just 33.3 percent from deep last season) and his ball-handling.
Recently, Wright spent a week working out with Oklahoma City star Russell Westbrook.
“I’m learning from an MVP,” Wright said. “I’m just trying to use what I learn this summer and use it this season.”
He has spent his summer facing off against NBA stars James Harden and Chris Paul in pro-am battles in the Drew League.
“I just feel like with me having a whole summer to prepare and with my experience last year,” Wright said, “I feel I’m ready to step up.”
Im sure ppl will find some negative with training with Westbrook hah.
