For all of the great games Justin Wright-Foreman had in college, it was one of his worst performances that stands out to former NBA guard Speedy Claxton.
Hofstra lost Northeastern. Wright-Foreman had an off night. And the team got back to campus at about 1 a.m.
“Justin went straight to the gym,” said Claxton, now an assistant coach at Hofstra. “The kid is a worker.”
So no one who knows Wright-Foreman well was worried after the Utah Jazz guard’s 3-for-14 debut at the Salt Lake City Summer League. Wright-Foreman got things on track with a 20-point game in Tuesday’s 86-71 win over the Cavaliers.
