Encyclopedia: Lorenzen Wright Wright is the only post presence on the Grizz at the moment, as evidenced by his 42 minutes of playing time Friday (vs. four minutes from backup Jake Tsakalidis). Wright was suffering from a case of the flu earlier in the week, but that has now seemed to pass. Whether you think Lorenzen Wright should receive a contract extension or not (and I'm not sure he should), the Grizzlies owe it to him to at least test the waters to see if he is interested in a relatively cheap deal. www.nationmaster.com /encyclopedia/Lorenzen-Wright   (664 words)

Lorenzen Wright - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Lorenzen Vern-Gagne Wright (born November 4, 1975 in Memphis, Tennessee) is a NBA professional basketball player for the Memphis Grizzlies. After being selected seventh overall by the Los Angeles Clippers in the 1996 NBA Draft out of the University of Memphis, the 213cm, 102kg power forward was considered an underachiever in three seasons with the team that drafted him and was shipped to the Atlanta Hawks in 1999. Some consider Wright to be the worst player on the Memphis Grizzlies' typical starting lineup. www.wikipedia.org /wiki/Lorenzen_Wright   (219 words)

The Memphis Flyer: Sports - May 14, 1998 Wright, the forward/center from Memphis, is a Los Angeles Clipper, which means he’s working hard and rebounding like a fiend for a team that won 17 of 82 games, “led” the league in points allowed, and then fired one of the most successful coaches in league history, Bill Fitch. Wright has been learning at a rapid clip, especially because for much of his two years in L.A., the team has had no true center and Wright has had to play that position. Wright’s biggest night in the NBA was December 26th against the Lakers, when he had 32 points and a game-high 15 rebounds. www.memphisflyer.com /backissues/issue482/sport482.htm   (781 words)

Welcome to Sports N' Spokes With that, Wright had an opportunity to coach his sister and daughter at the junior-college level, while keeping a watchful eye as a father and coach on son Lorenzen, who was making a name for himself as a senior basketball standout at Booker T. Washington High School. By the end of Lorenzen’s sophomore year with the Tigers, his level of play skyrocketed to the point where he was projected a lock as a first-round NBA draft choice. Wright joined Lorenzen on the West Coast, not as a parent who wanted to live off the richly-rewarded NBA rookie but as a father who was concerned about all the sudden money in the hands of a 20-year-old in a city that could eat him alive. www.pvamagazines.com /sns/magazine/article.php?art=429   (994 words)

The Memphis Flyer: Sports When Wright arrived in L.A. as the seventh pick in the first round of the draft, the newspaper stories focused on two things: his relationship with his dad, who moved to L.A. to be with him, and his combination of work ethic and niceness. Wright's coach, Bill Fitch, says hard-working nice guys aren't that rare in the NBA, but adds "at the time, with the way [Wright] was playing, that's all there was to talk about, what kind of kid he is. His game was light years away. Wright has kept a tradition left over from his college days, when he openly aspired to the team's single-game rebounding record. www.memphisflyer.com /backissues/issue430/sport430.htm   (1692 words)
