Fantasy Analysis
The Warriors have really lit a fire under Wright, who has failed to score in double figures in just two of his last 13 games. He is not quite up to his 16.4 points per game average from 2010-11, but Wright does seem on his way back to that level. Wright remains a mid-level Fantasy start, but continue to keep tabs on his progress. (Updated 02/08/2012).

There was no better 3-point shooter in the NBA last season than Dorell Wright. The only player in the NBA to attempt over 500 shots from beyond the arc, he made a league-best 194 in 82 games played as he enjoyed a breakout season in his first season with the Warriors. After years of getting inconsistent playing time with the Heat, he flourished in Golden State's wide-open system. This year, with Mark Jackson taking over as the new head coach of the Warriors, there is some concern that the team will slow down their offensive approach some. Wright's extraordinary season from beyond the arc may have inflated Wright's Fantasy appeal in Rotisserie formats to the point where he could be drafted much earlier than he should be and Fantasy owners should adjust expectations to take into account a possible decline in overall shot attempts this year. With that in mind, Wright will remain a very attractive option in category formats for what he can offer in 3-point shooting and steals with solid scoring and rebounding production. He should be targeted in the middle rounds in standard Head-to-Head formats, but could go as early as Round 2 or 3 in category leagues given last season's efforts. (Updated 8/28/11)
