It didn’t take long for former University of Utah star Delon Wright to take off for the Great White North. Hours after being selected 20th overall in the NBA draft by the Toronto Raptors, Wright made the journey from his hometown of Los Angeles to his future place of employment.
“It’s been crazy,” Wright said a press conference at the Air Canada Centre Friday afternoon. “I don’t think it’s hit me yet that I’ll be playing for the Raptors.”
After attending a draft party with more than 200 well-wishers, Wright stopped home to pick up his suit and headed for the airport.
