Brandan Wright says goodbye Tar Heels, hello NBA

Posted Apr 24, 2007

Brandan Wright is projected as the No. 3 pick by NBAdraft.net because of his 7-foot-5 wingspan and ability to run the floor at his size. “He will be a very high pick because of his skills and because of his upside,” said College Basketball News analyst Chris Monter. After consulting with NBA personnel, coach Roy Williams said Wright is a likely top-10 pick and is unlikely to slip lower than the sixth or seventh pick in the draft. (Charlotte Observer)
