Our 2021-22 Atlanta Hawks Player Review series continues with a look at the season of guard Delon Wright
Put plainly, Delon Wright is a much more valuable player than traditional counting stats paint him to be. He’ll never go for 30 points or put up a monster double-double lines, but he will often impact the game in so many almost imperceptible ways.
He was acquired by the Atlanta Hawks as part of a three-team trade that sent rarely used Kris Dunn, Bruno Fernando along with a second round pick to Boston. Wright was seemingly targeted for his ability to play both the point guard and shooting guard spots as well as his ability to defend smaller perimeter at a high level.
