julian will go 12th at worst.
I am no longer a Cincinnati Bearcat fan, but at any rate let me draw a former Bearcat into the big picture for a comparison to your Mr. Wright. Jason Maxiell was drafted in 2005 by Detroit in the first round. He actually turned out to be a pretty good pick as he has contributed very nicely for a bench player in his two years. But let’s look at the stats.
They both play the same position -- power forward. Maxiell was a four year, highly experienced player. Wright is a freshman. Maxiell is stronger than an ox, weighs 250 lbs, can bench press over 400 lbs, and is a true 6’ 7”. Wright weighs 210 lbs, is actually 6’ 6½”, and being barely able to lift 190 lbs is as weak as a schoolgirl. Maxiell averaged 15.3 points per game, 7.9 rebounds per game, 2.7 blocks per game, and was widely noted for his defensive prowess. Wright averaged 12.0 ppg, 7.8 rpg, 1.3 bpg, and has never been considered a defensive stopper. Maxiell was always regarded as having a great work ethic. Wright showed up for practice. Neither are regarded for their outside shot nor their ability to handle the ball that well. Maxiell was drafted #26. And now you are telling me that the NBA, in their infinite wisdom, are going to make Wright a #12 pick?
