NBA Draft 2013: Cody Zeller's DBB scouting report
Detroit Bad Boys — What would Zeller bring to the Pistons? Shinons*: Brandan Wright is a trending favorite among DBBers as a free agency target. Zeller would bring many of the same qualities that Wright does. Efficient, versatile scoring with mediocre rebounding. The biggest difference is the defensive end, where Wright's length helps him as a shot-blocking threat. The only area where he really stands out is in getting to the line, which he does more than 7 times per game and converts 75% of the time. Mike Payne: A productive offensive big man with room to grow. His ability to draw contact and convert w...
Detroit Pistons May 16, 2013Buy or Bye: Brandan Wright
Dallas Mavericks Blog | ESPN Dallas — ESPNDallas.com will estimate the market value for each of the Mavericks' eight free agents and examine their worth to the Mavs in a once-per-day series. Brandan Wright Brandan Wright would like to be back with the Mavericks. The Mavs would like to keep Wright, a young, athletic center/forward who took advantage of his return to the rotation in the final month and a half, averaging 11.2 points, 5.7 rebounds and 1.7 blocks as a 24-minute-per-night part-time starter in the final 23 games.
Dallas Mavericks April 30, 2013Wright heads into free agency
CBSSports.com Fantasy — The last time Brandan Wright was a free agent, he was coming off a lackluster performance on a rookie contract that netted him just a minimum salary contract in the summer of 2011. Coming off a career year this time, Wright heads into free agency, and he closed the season with a flourish that could drive his price tag up. Wright averaged 11.3 points, 5.5 rebounds and 1.7 blocks per game from March 1 on, when he was re-inserted into the rotation.

MMB End of the Year Roundtable, 2/4: Biggest surprise
Mavs Moneyball — 3) What was the biggest surprise of the season? Kirk: The rapid development of Brandan Wright. He was the main player I was wrong about. I enjoyed his athletic style of play early, but I was convinced that he wouldn't be able to curb his shot blocking instincts in order to help the team defense of Dallas. He'd so often try to block anything that he'd force back side rotations and the result would be offensive rebounds for the other team or the Mavericks having to commit fouls. As the season wore on Wright went to the bench for an extensive period but worked his way back ...
Dallas Mavericks April 23, 2013What's Brandan Wright worth to Mavs?
Dallas Mavericks Blog | ESPN Dallas — Brandan Wright has proven to be a winning piece for the Mavericks this season. The proof: The Mavs are 18-10 when Wright plays at least 20 minutes. That includes a 7-4 record in games that Dirk Nowitzki missed. Wright, who was a fringe rotation player for much of the season because of Rick Carlisle’s concerns about his rebounding, averaged 11.8 points on 61.4 percent shooting, 5.9 rebounds and 1.6 blocks in 25 minutes during those 28 games.

April 9, 2013Dirk Nowitzki on Brandan Wright: I’m shocked when he misses that little runner
Dallas Mavericks Blog | Dallas Morning News — Dirk Nowitzki knows when a teammate has it rolling. He knew it when Vince Carter was in the zone from 3-point land for about a month earlier this season. And he sees it now with Brandan Wright, the lanky, athletic … Continue reading →

Mavericks final score: Mavericks fall to Nuggets 95-94
Mavs Moneyball — The Dallas Mavericks lost to the Denver Nuggets 95-94, in Denver, despite the fact that Denver was missing Ty Lawson and lost Danilo Gallinari at halftime. Ex-Mav Corey Brewer led the Nuggets with 23, and Andre Miller added 22, including some clutch buckets down the stretch. For the Mavericks, Brandan Wright led with 16. This was the most "Mavs" Mavs game to date, as even a decent 4th quarter effort would have been enough to steal a win. Instead, in the last few minutes, these things happened: 1) Ignored Dirk three times running for crucial possessions, spotting him up in the corne...

The Roles We Play
Mavs Moneyball — The Laker game was one of the more frustrating basketball experiences I've had in a year full of them. Starting Chris Kaman after a successful series of games with Brandan Wright made me crazy. His role within the team structure is so poorly defined that he hurts the team when he plays. Roles matter, and people knowing and understanding their roles are what helps define a successful organization. Take the good staff here at Mavs Moneyball. Our fearless leader, LJ, is fantastic at dealing with a myriad of personalities, schedules, writing styles, and ridiculous emails. She is the link b...

Wright is Might? Moneyball Roundtable
Mavs Moneyball — Brandan Wright has become a hot topic of discussion around Mavsland, provoking a variety of opinions. The MMB post game email Tuesday was one long lament of opportunity lost, much of it surrounding Mr. Wright. Some questions were posed to the staff about Wright, and here's what everyone had to say. What is Brandan Wright's role on the current Dallas squad? Andy: Here's the thing about Wright: no one will ever convince me that there isn't a way to play a guy who makes basically every shot he shoots, basically all the time. He averaged 61% in both Feb and March and he did it with finesse...

Brandan Wright back in the mix has the Mavericks soaring
Mavs Moneyball — It must be frustrating to be Brandan Wright. Full of talent and usually always producing, throughout his brief NBA career Wright has continually had to scrap and claw for minutes. Sometimes it was his own undoing or other times, things outside his control. Injuries and coaches have kept Wright for being a frequent NBA contributor, something everyone thought he was when Golden State selected him with the 8th pick in the 2007 draft (well, selected by Charlotte then traded to Golden State). With Golden State, Wright was either injured or trapped behind the losing-his-touch Don Nelson. Nel...
Dallas Mavericks April 2, 2013Brandan Wright (17 points, 13 rebounds) has first double-double as a Maverick
Dallas Mavericks Blog | Dallas Morning News — Brandan Wright came off the bench, but was by far the most effective center for the Mavericks. He had 17 points and 13 rebounds, his first double-double since April 1, 2011, when he was with the Nets. “It’s been a … Continue reading →
Dallas Mavericks March 30, 2013Brand replaces Wright in Mavs' starting lineup
Dallas Mavericks Blog | ESPN Dallas — DALLAS -- The Mavericks' best banger is in the starting lineup against the Bulls. Elton Brand will start at center instead of Brandan Wright. That's clearly an attempt by Rick Carlisle to prevent the Mavs from being overpowered by Eastern Conference bullies for the second consecutive game. The Pacers had a 55-34 rebounding edge in Thursday night's rout at the AAC, and the Bulls play a similarly physical style. The slender, 6-foot-10 Wright started the last four games and has been a major factor in the Mavs' March success (10-5 record).
Dallas Mavericks March 30, 2013Wright not exactly soaring in starts
CBSSports.com Fantasy — Mavericks center Brandan Wright started his fourth game in a row Thursday against the Pacers. Wright who began the season as a starter before being pulled from the role in December, struggled to make much of an impact in the game. He scored just four points on 2 of 5 shooting in 22 minutes, in a 103-78 loss. Wright added just three rebounds and an assist, however he did block a pair of shots in the game.
