what happened to wright

[Jizzy]

after calling his number for 21 pts in the first game of the season, and continuing that hot streak for about 10 games or so, he has regressed right in front of our eyes. what a horrible pick.

And I still think he was just overachieving early.

He can play good D... but not lock down D.
His offensive game is extremely contingent on his confidence.
If he has confidence, he can hit 15 to 18 foot jumpers at 50%. 3s at maybe 35%.
Without confidence, he hesitates, pump fakes, then drives... and if he doesn't travel, he misses a shot or just passes it back out to the perimeter.

 

[Kidd Karma]

His defense buys him PT.

 

[MFNetsFan]

If we had players who could score on their own off the bench with him, it wouldn't be so bad.

No amount of defense will hold the other team scoreless.
The Net's entire bench doesn't have 3 guys who can consistently score.
Marcus + Malik pick and pop game only works if Allen is hitting and teams respect Marcus's shot (which at this point, they shouldn't).
