Brandan Wright (72)*

[Danny Longley]

I guess if things are getting started here, I might as well bring up someone who's probably worth at least a small bump.

Finally given an opportunity for solid minutes, Wright fought with Mahinmi and Haywood all season for a grab at the 5. The growth isn't clearly evident in all his stats but he's shown clear improvement in his blocking, almost tripling his average (.5 to 1.3, but he is doing it in 16 minutes a game) from the last two seasons. He's back to finishing strongly after a puzzling 40% FG with New Jersey.

I'd say he at least deserves a 2-point bump to 74, He's at least as good as Chris Wilcox is at the moment. Man provides similar production to Robin Lopez, but for a better team and he's a 76 (But I won't argue against a Lopez drop).

Sooo yeah. All-in-all, Wright for a small bump up, because 72 just seems like scrub territory.

I do like Wright. He's not living up to, and probably will never live up to, the hype he once had, but in 18 mpg this year, he shot about 60%, had 8.5 points, 4 boards, half a steal, and 1.2 blocks.

He probably deserves around a 74-75, but may never get an increase from there...we'll see on that but I do think he deserves a couple point boost.

[Danny Longley]

I sincerely hope Brandan does break out, but I think he deserves to be more of a 75-76 because of the holes in his game.

[Allen Iverson]

74-75 for me. He's really solid if given the minutes.

[Ian Noble]

So far:

74
74.5
74.5
77

I think not many people are really interested in weighing in their opinion on Brandan, so I'm going to put him on the list of pending increases now anyway, at a 75 average.
