McKinley Wright IV always plays best when he has a chip on his shoulder. Widely projected to go undrafted in the 2021 NBA Draft, the Colorado star is quickly moving up draft boards after an impressive display at the draft combine.
Wright was invited to the combine in Chicago and immediately shined during the live scrimmages. He looked great running the pick-n-roll with high school teammate Jericho Sims, made excellent passes all over the floor and made most of his shots. His defense was even better, as he was hounding the ball handler with bulldog intensity.
Jonathan Givony of ESPN was clearly impressed.
