Toronto Raptors: Delon Wright looks to prove worth in contract year

Weaknesses

In some ways, Wright’s biggest strength is his lack of weaknesses. In the modern NBA, teams look to expose players more than ever before. Good luck finding a glaring hole in Wright’s skill set.

Still, like any player, Wright does have some areas of his game that he can work on.

He’s not the most impactful shooter on the court. Last season he made 36.6-percent of his three-point attempts, right around league average. However, a deep dive into the numbers tell a less impressive story.

When left wide-open (no defender within six feet) Wright made opponents pay, hitting greater than 40-percent of his attempts. On any other attempt, Wright hit only 25-percent of his looks.

Wright also struggled shooting off the dribble. According to NBA.com, Wright hit less than 28-percent of his pull-up three-point attempts. If he’s not able to hit shots off the dribble, opponents will easily slide under picks, limiting Wright’s effectiveness in the pick-and-roll.

Another area in which Delon Wright can improve is his aggressiveness. Last season Wright had a usage percentage of just 17.4-percent. He ranked below players like Serge Ibaka and Norman Powell.

Wright picks and chooses his spots, and it has helped his efficiency early in his career. With more experience under his belt, hopefully, Wright starts to attack more often.
