JOHN-MICHAEL WRIGHT NEWS

Provides scoring boost Wright supplied 16 points (4-13 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 4-5 FT), two rebounds and one assist over 34 minutes during Tuesday's 83-54 loss to Kansas.

Impact Wright started his fourth-consecutive game for the Cowboys and was one of the few bright spots for them in Tuesday's loss, leading the team in scoring while raining in four from behind the arc. The senior guard has seen his production drop by 11.5 minutes, 2.5 points, nearly two rebounds and one assist per game from last season. However, in his last four games since joining the starting lineup, Wright has averaged 29.0 minutes, scoring 13.3 points while draining 3.0 triples per contest.

Weak end to 2022-23 regular season Wright closed with four points (1-10 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and six assists over 36 minutes during Saturday's 71-68 win over Texas Tech.

Impact Wright put together one of his wakes performances of the season, marking the first time he hit just one shot while taking double-digit field-goal attempts this season. The 6-foot-1 senior did log a season high in assists, increasing his season average in this category to just 1.9. Wright finished the 2022-23 regular season averaging 10.0 points and 2.8 rebounds while shooting 37.5 percent from the field. His rather wide scoring variance will make Wright a volatile fantasy option heading into the postseason, which will begin versus No. 10-seeded Oklahoma in the Big 12 Tournament on Wednesday.

Matches season high for points Wright chipped in 19 points (6-10 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, two assists and two steals across 38 minutes during Saturday's 64-56 victory over Iowa State.

Impact Wright tied his previous season high for points set in the Cowboys' conference opener against Kansas on Dec. 31. The 6-foot-1 senior struggled mightily to put the ball through the hoop to begin conference play, but he's now averaged 12.3 points while converting 48.1 percent of his 9.0 field-goal attempts per game over the past six contests. Wright is also averaging 3.8 rebounds, 1.0 assists and three steals to 2.0 turnovers during this span. Therefore, his fantasy value is almost entirely tied to his production as a scorer.

Efficient during increased run Wright notched 17 points (6-10 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist and two blocks across 37 minutes during Saturday's 79-73 victory over TCU.

Impact Wright finished as the Cowboys' second-leading scorer behind big man Kalib Boone (25). The 6-foot-1 senior hasn't posted much consistent scoring during Big 12 play, though he's now scored in double figures during three of the past four contests. Wright is still just shooting 37.5 percent overall compared to 36.5 percent from beyond the three-point arc, where he takes 5.0 of his 8.3 field-goal attempts per game. He's also averaging 9.2 points and just 2.8 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game, so Wright's overall production should continue to be tied to his three-point shooting moving forward.

Continues struggles from the floor Wright racked up eight points (3-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt), one rebound and two assists in 25 minutes during Saturday's 61-59 win over Iowa State.

Impact Wright posted a slightly better shooting performance after seeing his scoring average take a harsh dip during Big 12 play (7.6). This also includes a 19-point performance during the conference opener against Kansas, and the senior guard has converted just 26.7 percent of his 7.5 field-goal tries per game over the last six contests. Wright shot at least 41 percent from the floor overall in each of his previous two seasons with mid-major High Point, which gives some confidence that he can improve upon this inefficient showing so far during Oklahoma State's conference schedule.

Scores 19 in Big 12 opener Wright recorded 19 points (6-15 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one steal over 33 minutes during Saturday's 69-67 loss to Kansas.

Impact Wright logged a season in points during this impressive first-half performance for the Cowboys. However, the 6-foot-1 senior wavered down the stretch, going 2-of-8 from the field in the second half. Wright once again struggled with his overall efficiency, as he's now shot 39.4 percent from the field compared to a solid 36.4 percent on his 5.1 three-point attempts per game. Expect Wright to continue serving as one of Oklahoma State's top three-point shooters alongside Bryce Thompson moving forward into conference play.

Grabs nine rebounds Tuesday Wright had six points (3-7 FG, 0-4 3Pt), nine rebounds, three assists and three steals across 34 minutes during Tuesday's 82-78 loss to Florida.

Impact The junior's nine rebounds were good enough to lead the squad, and it was the fourth time this season in which Wright has recorded at least three assists and three steals. In 29 outings with Vanderbilt this year, Wright is averaging 11.7 points, 6.2 rebounds and 2.0 assists.
