Wright averaged only 3.6 points per game in 14.7 minutes this season.
ANALYSIS
Wright has never really shown improvement during his time in the NBA, but there remains the potential for him to become a key role player in the league. With Linas Kleiza most likely out for the beginning of next season, Wright could see plenty of playing time at small forward. The Raptors will need to make a qualifying offer of nearly $4 million to ensure that Wright is on their roster next season. Wright's refusal to enter a game near the end of the season may strongly affect whether the team decides to bring him back next season. With James Johnson seemingly entrenched as the team's small forward, it may be hard for the team to justify carrying Wright given his lack of offensive ability.

Wright carries a lovely air of entitlement that got him traded out of New Orleans. He’s athletically gifted, but his inability to put all of his talent together has limited his usefulness as a rotation player.
Wright is a good athlete at 6-9 who can handle the ball and use his long arms to be a very good defender. He will likely take on the starting small forward role in place of Peja Stojakovic this season and has the potential to be a valuable late-round sleeper if he can get a consistent 25 minutes per game and improve on his three-point shooting. He'll offer owners multi-category potential (rebounds, blocks, steals) and should be more than worthy of a late-round selection in standard leagues.
Wright is a good athlete at 6'9 who can handle the ball and use his long arms to be a very good defender. The loss of Jannero Pargo and Bonzi Wells means that James Posey will take on most of the minutes at the 2, giving Wright the opportunity to backup both of the forward spots. He will only see between 12-15 minutes per game this season, which will not be enough for him to be relevant to fantasy owners. He will make for an intriguing play though if Peja Stojakovic goes down with an injury for an extended period of time.
Wright is still a few years away from contributing for an NBA team, but he could get an opportunity because of the Hornets’ overall lack of depth. He needs to bulk up and improve his jump shot, but once he’s ready, Wright will fill stat sheets. He’s a good defender and rebounder, and has point-forward potential.
