Dwyane Wade kept saying that Dorell Wright was the best athlete on the Heat, but he never really got a chance to play there. That all changed last year when Dorell Wright finally got a chance to show what he can do with the Warriors. Wright played in 82 games (all starts) for the Warriors last year and he averaged 38.4 minutes, 16.4 points, 5.3 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.5 steals per game. He has now played in 292 games (138 starts) in his NBA career and he is averaging 24.9 minutes, 9.1 points, 4.1 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game. Wright is going to have another really solid season for the Warriors in 2011-12, as he is a player on the rise.
