Seems to be playing well coming off the bench in Philly. Anyone think the change in scenery could help him get back to his former-self? Looks like he's backing up Evan Turner, who should also be getting time at backup PG, so the minutes should be there for Wright (and his per minute production was never an issue).

I'd love Wright if he was starting, and I do think there's strong potential for him to send Turner to the bench if he keeps playing well & Turner stinking it up like he has all preseason.  If that happens he'd be a hot commodity off the waiver wire.

Wright was marginalised at GSW by Jackson's system, which pretty much relegated him to a spot up 3 point shooter.  At Philly he's very active on the boards, on transition offense and slashing to the hoop - he's better utilised so perhaps its no surprise that his shooting's come along as well.

Whether he is starting or not, he still makes for a nice flier towards the end of standard drafts. If his role were to grow, it'd be a heck of a rewarding bonus.
