The New Orleans Hornets select forward Julian Wright in the first round

Blogged under The Draft Report, Bloglockers, Big Hornets News, Front Page by alleyoop on Friday 29 June 2007 at 8:11 pm

The Hornets will probably move Peja Stojakovic to shooting guard to make room in the starting lineup for their first round pick, small forward Julian Wright.  Wright is a good rebounder and a very active defender so he should fit right in with the Hornets.  Wright has nice size at 6′8″, 225 pounds and he’s a good all-around basketball player.  Wright played in 71 games for Kansas and he averaged 10.4 points, 6.3 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.3 blocked shots per game.  Wright shot 55.5% from the floor and only 59.1% from the free throw line which he will need to improve on.  Look for Wright to start from Day #1 for the Hornets.
