Namon Wright could be excused if, generation-wise, a few things get lost in translation whenever he converses with his younger teammates on the Colorado men’s basketball team.
As the only senior on the Buffaloes roster, and a fifth-year season at that, Wright found himself in a unique position Tuesday morning as the Buffs began official preseason workouts for the 2018-19 season.
He has spent just one year on the floor with the Buffs, and yet Wright is just one of five players who are beginning their third seasons in coach Tad Boyle’s program. Among the two juniors in that small circle, Wright is more than three years older than guard Deleon Brown and closer to four years older than junior college transfer Shane Gatling.
