MEMPHIS — After getting drafted in the first round by the Toronto Raptors in 2015 following a standout career at the University of Utah, Delon Wright was getting comfortable in Toronto where he was a key contributor off the bench for one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference.

Then early last month, just before the trade deadline, he had to pack his bags and move to Memphis, being part of the trade that sent Grizzlies’ star Marc Gasol to the Raptors.
