You guys act like Wright is going to have a great season without any doubts because he scored 30 points in a summer league game.

 

Abe Nunez ring a bell?

 

I seriously doubt he contributes much this year and I'm willing to eat crow if I'm wrong.

were not sayin based on one game, im saying start him based on potential.should he shine out of high skool like amare stoudamire or as good as Bosh did last year,thats enough for me this year.i beleive should he get the chance to start he will be a 13 ppg player

Bosh went to college for a year. The transition from high school is not an easy one.

its not easy,but i beleive in rileys confidence to draft this certain high skool player. if he can mimick amare stoudamire and be a role player to shaq and wrights sweet shot will only help him with shaq.having him will only help wrights game develope better his first year

Well I just got back from a week on a vacation was pretty much disconnected from the world except for a newspaper which I would get which gave me limited information but I wasnt very happy about this trade and breaking up all chemistry our team had last year.

 

But after seeing how Blount, Dampier etc players have agreed to contracts I think this was the only way to take our team to the next step even though I'm still iffy about Shaq and his commitment to staying in shape etc.

 

Lets just hope for the best,

Im a big believer in Wright

 

 

BUT

 

 

there is no way we should expect much from him this season. the kid has only played 2 years of organized basketball

 

PLUS

 

 

KG took 3 years to develop into anything, Kobe took 3 years, Jermaine O'Neal took almost 5

 

 

high school players bring a lot of potential but you HAVE TO BE patient

 

Look for 15-20 minutes a game in role duty with an increase in minutes as the season goes along. but in all seriousness, expect the kid to get his azz-kicked for the first few months of the season. and dont get all worked up when he does. its the standard learning curve

^agreed

i agree he will surprise many ppl

 

DRAFT: The Heat stunned a lot of people on draft night by passing on Jameer Nelson, the college player of the year, for little-known high school player Dorell Wright. The Heat needed a point guard in the worst way, and Nelson was considered by many to be the most NBA-ready point guard on the board.

 

What happened? Wright is pretty darn good. He hadn't gotten the hype of Dwight Howard or Sebastian Telfair, but scouts who have seen him most claim he has a chance to be a Tracy McGrady-like star. The Heat still believe Wade will be their point guard of the future, and in Wright they landed their two guard. He scored 30 points in his summer league debut, including 23 in the second half. Not too shabby for a high school kid. Even LeBron didn't post those numbers in game one.

i see em as an amare..... or a KG

 

i mean see what Lebron did this year?

 

Kg in his 1 year averaged 28 minz a game and averaged 10 points and 6 boards with a FG % 491.....

 

Amare in his 1st year 13 points and 8 boards with a 472 FG % got 31 minz a game.....

 

start em in he can learn from the My Giant....

 

just see how he progresses in summa league...

The Orlando summer league is over. Wright only played in the first game, missed the last four with injury.

They were fun and exciting last season, and even though I'm a Magic fan, it was nice to see them use young talent that was predominantly their's from the start (Odom was nothing great, and they drafted Wade and Butler).

 

It's a shame that they turn from a team with a lot of youth and heart (cough Marlins cough) to the damn Lakers.

I agree. It was so much fun watching the Heat play last season. Young, resillient(sp?), & full of heart. We could have accomplished a lot. I'm not saying Shaq isn't going to help... he will, but I prefer last years team any day.
