Rebounding and blocking out (I love how you list these separately) are obvious issues. Defense too. The others are unquantifiable nonsense. And the shot-creation one is completely wrong. Wright's a more-than-adequate shot-creator for a 5-10 mpg backup PF.

That's more than enough alternatives at PF and C

That you list 6'6" Carter as a viable alternative at PF pretty much tells me all I need to know. Rick may play him there, but I consider him nothing near "viable" at the 4.
Nor was Murphy a viable alternative, yet he consistently played over Wright.

I do trust Rick. I trust him plenty. He's a terrific coach. But terrific coaches make mistakes, just like terrific doctors, terrific lawyers, terrific accountants, or terrific engineers. Not playing Wright at all is a mistake.
And the even bigger mistake is not trading him if Rick's not going to play him at all.
