We scored more points and we scored 9% more efficiently with him on the floor.
He has an extremely underrated toolbox of offensive tools. He probes offenses, moves well without the ball to keep defenses jumbled, slashes, shoots, and spreads the floor. Murphy kept one defender from helping defensively. Wright causes defensive panic and mismatches. Without Wright we see defenses get comfortable and clamp down so guys like Collison have a hard time shaking anyone. Confusing defenses is a valuable and underrated skill when you don't have a superstar out there. Hopefully Dirk will be back in a week or two, but until then, it's a travesty that Wright doesnt get any burn.

I thought our hot shooting had a lot more to do with it than wright by a long shot.
