<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This past Sunday a number of junior and senior prospects came together to compete at the Prep Hoops Expo at Seminole Sports Academy in Longwood, FL.

At 6'2" Wright is capable of guarding the bigs down low, but can also stick with the smaller quicker guards. He is solid around the hoop, and counters that with a nice smooth shot from the mid-range.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2896356"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6abae0020df6e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lazaridis effects the game in a number of ways both offensively and defensively.

The rising junior, Wright, made quite an impact on both sides of the ball throughout the event. He plays with a great motor, and had no hesitation diving on the floor for loose balls. He has good size and strength and rebounds the ball very well on both ends of the court. At 6'2" Wright is capable of guarding the bigs down low, but can also stick with the smaller quicker guards. He is solid around the hoop, and counters that with a nice smooth shot from the mid-range.
