Expert Analysis
Sam Duren | Prep Hoops Scout
The Newcastle youngster was limited in practice while recovering from a concussion, but has already made his mark with a weekend over double digit averages at the Circuit in Dallas. His upside is obvious, with good movement for his height. Especially as he might still be growing. While continuing to add strength and dominating the interior will be key for his long term success. Don’t sleep on his ability to step out and hit jumpers as a stretch forward. Expect his high school production to flourish this winter, as he helps Newcastle defend the 5A crown.

Big man with perimeter range. Does good work on the low block, and also out to 8-10 feet with cleanly catching and quickly getting his shot up. But possibly his best trait is how smooth he looked as a spot up threat. The quicker he develops this winter, the more dangerous the Racers become as a floor spacer who still gives them a major height advantage over 5A teams.

As a 5A title contender, Wright might not make the production jump similar to others on the list. But to reach State and capture Gold, it requires depth and all hands on deck. Enter the intriguing, tall sophomore. With an experienced group around him, the role should be simple for Wright. Hit the glass. Hit the occasional three to spread the floor. And hustle. All those traits are in Wright’s bag.
If he’s successful in staring in that role, expect the wins and personal highlights to follow. And set the stage for Wright to be a dynamic and skilled force as an upperclassman.
