Personal Bio/PreCareer Summary

McKinley Wright IV was born in Minneapolis in October of 1998. The point guard is the son of Mckinley Wright III and Yolanda Hitchcock. Wright attended Champlin Park High School from 2013 to 2017 and is the school's all-time leader in scoring, rebounds, assists and steals. Wright was named 2017 Mr. Minnesota Basketball as he averaged 23 points, 8.1 rebounds and 7.8 assists and shot 62 percent from the field en route to a second-place finish in the Class 4A state tournament. Wright played college basketball at Colorado from 2017 to 2021 where he set numerous records including the program's mark for most career assists with 683. The point guard made an immediate impact as he was named to the 2017 Pac-12 Conference All-Freshman Team. He went on to receive All-Pac-12 First Team honors every year between his sophomore and senior seasons including 2020 Pac-12 All-Defensive Team honors as a junior. He was also named a 2021 Honorable Mention Associated Press All-American as he led the Buffaloes with 15.2 points, 5.7 assists and 1.1 steals per game in his senior season. Wright then chose to forgo his extra year of collegiate eligibility and declared for the 2021 NBA Draft. After going undrafted, he signed a two-way contract with the Minnesota Timberwolves in August of 2021. Fans can follow Wright on Twitter @kin_wright25.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Summer League veteran
GFree Agent
July 20, 2023
Wright averaged 8.5 points while logging just 34 total minutes for Dallas at Summer League. The 5-foot-11 guard was playing in his third consecutive Summer League.
ANALYSIS
Wright's biggest impact may have come as a veteran leader on the bench. Despite being a proven lead guard with familiarity with Dallas' system, Wright was infrequently utilized. Wright appeared in 27 games for the Mavericks last season, averaging 4.2 points and 2.5 assists in 12.4 minutes per game. He also posted a 58:19 AST:TO for the Mavericks, which either indicates that Dallas already knows what he's capable of, or that they intend to seek a higher-upside player to fight for backup guard minutes.
