Title: I got a write-up in ESPN the Magazine for those of you who get it
Post by: bamamarquettefan on December 24, 2014, 12:19:23 PM

I am on page 26 of ESPN the Magazine's December 22 issue (Gronk on the cover, I tried attaching the magazine page but click http://espn.go.com/college-sports/story/_/id/11973617/utah-delon-wright-ready-spotlight (http://espn.go.com/college-sports/story/_/id/11973617/utah-delon-wright-ready-spotlight) for on-line version). In response to questions on if he could be one of the truly great college players, I updated the http://valueaddbasketball.com/ballall.html (http://valueaddbasketball.com/ballall.html) database last night and his 7 of 8 shooting with 10 assists Tuesday night put him in a virtual tie with our own Dwyane Wade for the 8th most valuable season ever.

I also worked in a reference to Wade in the story on my Value Add All-American team at the break, as his former teammate Gary Payton joined Wright on the 1st team.

Fox Sports News and NBA Sports put my projection on Wright on the line with their preseason write-ups on my selection on him. http://www.breitbart.com/sports/2014/12/24/kentucky-duo-son-of-the-glove-all-americans-at-break/ (http://www.breitbart.com/sports/2014/12/24/kentucky-duo-son-of-the-glove-all-americans-at-break/)

We'll know when you get a write-up in Playboy, hey?

thanks, was a nice Christmas gift. Well, in fairness since he was interviewing me it really wasn't working to tell him how great Butler, Crowder and Wade had been in the system since he was really focused on Delon Wright. I do have a follow-up piece to it that I wrote and will run in Breitbart and shows which team got the best Christmas present - with a certain 6'11" guy who projects as the 59th best player in the country to give us just enough to get to the Big Dance. Why am I getting my hopes up with an 8-player team?

Because a healthy year and a 10-8 league record would put us right in the mix, and that doesn't seem at all unattainable.
