Re: Wright Now Has Nellie's Attention
I've been open minded about the D-League in general.
Proponents say the D-League allows PT to players with talent who might otherwise be relegated to the bench if on the big league rosters. Those who oppose the D-League (especially for 1st rounders) argue that while not getting PT in the NBA, a big-league practice day-in and day-out can be more beneficial than actual game time play in a league of inferior talent.
I think both sides of the argument hold truth. The call of whether or not a trip to the D-League would benefit a player ultimately depends on the individual. Some require PT to craft their skills (in which case a demotion to the D-League would behoove them). For other players (in my mind, players who typically have more self-discipline and can improve themselves in the limited context of practice), keeping them on the major league squad is more beneficial.
In the case of Brandan Wright, I feel that he ought to be kept on the Warriors opening day roster. His attitude of 'gotta bring something new to the table - gotta improve year-in, year-out' is the work ethic of someone who's serious about their game. With that work ethic and his potential, you've GOTTA keep him around major league talent to push the envelope on a daily basis.
This guy is going to be something special.
