Patience paid off for Raptors’ Delon Wright
Delon Wright, taken by the Raptors 20th overall in the NBA draft, meets the Toronto media on Friday at the ACC.If there’s one thing new Raptor Delon Wright knows, it’s that there are a lot of things he doesn’t know.
And that willingness to listen to others has landed him in the NBA, the 20th pick in Thursday’s NBA draft with a promising future ahead of him, even if it came a year later than he expected.
Like many collegiate stars, Wright couldn’t wait to get to the NBA, and he toyed with the idea of leaving the University of Utah after his junior year.
That is, until his father interceded and showed him the error of his ways.
