Saw why Wright gets the recognition he does. Still a long way to go, and I wish there were more "killer instinct" in the kid (from what I saw in watching half their game), but I can see why he is rated as such. Nice pull-up in one sequence, a nice drive a finish in another.

 

Must have saw all of Sergeant's 3's, two of them that I recall off the top of my head, but thought he was a solid player as well.

 

 

Too many turnovers for Apollo in the second half. Maybe easier said than done, but feed Wright until Station finds someone to stop him (IIRC, Station mainly used Walker, who was undersized and couldn't contest Wright when he got where he wanted to go and decided to just elevate over him). With that said, it didn't look like Wright had tons of scorers flanking him either, and he wasn't one of the kids just coughing up the ball.

 

Would be interested to know how much Wright handled the ball in the 1st half (when Apollo led) and how effective Station was at making him give it up when he got it and tried to attack against their half-court pressure.
