Robert Wright, III is a compact and confident guard. While not blessed with great length or size, his feel is off the charts. Wright can get to his spots off the bounce and plays with outstanding balance with the ball in his hands. He is a good shooter, with deep range on his shot. He can pull up off the bounce or knock it down off the catch. Wright has good vision and distributes passes on target and on time. During Peach Jam, Wright averaged 4.8 assists. His size will be a question mark for some coaches. He also just has average burst. The lead guard is also tough, rebounding the ball well for his position. He has quick hands and great anticipation on defense. Wright averaged 5.0 rebounds and 1.4 steals during Peach Jam. He is a shot maker and a shot creator, and there is a lot of value in that.

Jamie Shaw - National Recruiting Analyst

Rob Wright is a smaller lead guard but has a sturdy, stocky frame. He plays with the utmost confidence in his game. While he is not the most explosive, Wright gets to his spots and rises up quickly and confidently to knock down shots. He plays with outstanding balance in transition, head up surveying the floor. He has deep range and a nice mid-range pull-up. The program that goes on him will need to be ok with smaller guards, but this one plays with determination and poise beyond his years.
