McKinley Wright IV is a player fighting for his NBA future. The Dallas Mavericks brought in Wright for training camp and preseason after a busy summer. Wright played for the Phoenix Suns in Summer League, making solid contributions to the team. He then found a place on Team USA during their FIBA World Cup qualifying games in August. Now, he has a chance to land an NBA contract.
To get a better insight on Wright, his game, and his potential, I spoke with Team USA head coach Jim Boylen. Boylen is also currently a consultant with the Indiana Pacers and has 22 years of NBA experience as an assistant and head coach.
