Stock Rising- Dorell Wright

Dorell Wright is producing some quality fantasy numbers for the Sixers thus far this year.

Analysis: Dorell Wright is averaging 12.8 PPG, 6.4 RPG, 2.3 SPG, .71 BPG, 2.4 3PM and is shooting 85% from the line in seven games this year. Wright is producing in six fantasy categories but he’s only owned in about forty percent of leagues. His stat line should not come as a surprise, he played very well for the Golden State Warriors two years ago when he got tons of minutes. This year Wright is averaging thirty minutes per game which seems to suit him just fine.

The twenty-six year old veteran is not without his faults. Wright shoots just 43% from the field for his career and is shooting below 40% this year. Many fantasy owners should be willing to take the hit in field goal percentage with a guy who can contribute in six fantasy categories. As long as Wright is hitting threes, rebounding and racking up the steals there should not be a reason why he isn’t universally owned in fantasy leagues.
