Dominick Wright
Dominick Wright
Dominick Wright showed a lot to like in Archer’s 20-point win over Hillgrove. There’s certainly a lot of upside with Wright because of his size, length, and versatility at 6’7. He does a little bit of everything to impact the game and can play either inside or out. Wright’s a sound decision-maker and won’t try to do too much or turn the ball over. So far, Dominick Wright has been very effective in a complimentary role for Archer but could become more and more important for them as the year goes on.
