Brandan Wright becoming a player of mythical proportions

Posted Dec 13, 2006

The 6-9, 205-pound Brandan Wright has put on a show worthy of the big screen during his freshman season. He ranks second on the team in scoring, rebounding and shot blocking, all the while performing with consistency not often seen. Wright has scored in double figures in each of UNC's first eight games, joining Rashad McCants as the only UNC freshmen to accomplish that feat in the last 20 years. (Durham Herald-Sun)
