25.7 minutes

6.4 boards

1.2 to's

18 minutes
8.5 points on 59.7 FG%, 61.5 FT%

true you can't teach Tiago's size or ability to deal with bigger centers, but all things considered this was a pretty good deal for the Mavs

Wow, Wright's lack of turnovers is pretty stellar. Even in March when his minutes went up to 25 mpg, he only averaged .7 turnovers per game. I realize that he doesn't have to handle the ball much, but he certainly takes care of it.
