ESPN.com says Wright a first-rounder
Looks like Chris Wright helped himself by coming back for his senior year.
ESPN.com’s Doug Gottlieb has posted an early look at next year’s top NBA draft choices and has put the Dayton senior forward at No. 19 overall on the list.
Of course, a lot can change between now and then, but at least one basketball expert projects Wright as a solid first-round draft choice.

Wright among 20 training with national team
As reported a couple of weeks ago, Dayton’s Chris Wright will be part of the USA Select Team that will train against the 2010 USA men’s national team July 19-24 in Las Vegas.
The college squad has 20 players and includes Duke’s Kyle Singler and Nolan Smith, Temple’s Lavoy Allen, Ohio State’s William Buford, Tennessee’s Scotty Hopson, Syracuse’s Scoop Jardine, Purdue’s JaJuan Johnson, Butler’s Shelvin Mack, Kansas’ Marcus Morris, Kansas State’s Jacob Pullen, Northwestern’s John Shurna, Illinois’ Mike Tisdale and North Carolina’s Tyler Zeller.
The coaches are Washington’s Lorenzo Romar and Villanova’s Jay Wright.
“We believe bringing in a USA Basketball Select Team will help the USA National Team be better prepared for the upcoming FIBA World Championship,” Jerry Colangelo, USA Basketball chairman, said in a statement. “We had USA select teams comprised of young, up-and-coming NBA players train against the national team in 2007 and 2008. That proved not only beneficial for our national team, but also for the select team players who got a great training opportunity and became involved in USA Basketball’s pipeline. This will be a tremendous opportunity for these collegians to be involved in USA Basketball and to get a look at the next level.”
