Antoine

Wright

He might be right, but he’s never going to be a fantasy asset. In his six-year NBA career he averaged 5.4 points on 41% shooting (30% from downtown).

Wright will hope to use the D-League as a springboard to return to the NBA.

He’ll join Ben Handlogten and Linton Johnson in street clothes tomorrow night.

Wright has not played in the NBA since the 2010-11 season and has been attempting to resurrect his career in various leagues around the world since. Wright is still only 30 years old, but it’s going to take a strong showing in Venezuela for him to get back on NBA GM’s radars.

He is a very good shooting guard who can play right now. He’s very athletic and will be a serious sleeper when we look back on this draft. We’re thinking he will have some fantasy value next year, and the eighth round sounds about right on Wright.

Wright will become an unrestricted free agents next year. “We are looking to have financial flexibility at the conclusion of the season,” Nets president Rod Thorn said. “Antoine has worked very hard to become a rotation player, and we expect him to be a solid contributor during the upcoming season.”

He’s day-to-day, but should not have fantasy value unless the Nets suffer an injury.

It’s good to see the Nets getting some healthy bodies back on the court tonight. Wright should backup Vince Carter this season, but barring injuries he won’t be a major factor for the Nets or your fantasy squad.

Nachbar added three 3-pointers (but missed six others) and hit 12-of-14 free throws in the win. Most of the Nets starters sat this one out, but it’s still possible that Nachbar could emerge with some value, just like he did last year. Antoine Wright added 17 points on 5-of-15 shooting for the Nets.

Wright rarely turns the ball over and has established himself as a very reliable fantasy option, especially with Vince Carter nursing a sprained ankle. Ride him as far as you can while he is still starting.
