Kyle Wright showed some offensive spark for the first time as a Friar. He canned three 3-pointers and finished with 13 points and 6 rebounds in 18 minutes.
Wright came to PC as a noted junior college scorer. He's adjusted a bit slowly but Davis likes his potential and notes that time is a valued commodity with all new players.
"It's just a different level," he said. "When you look back at his career he just hasn't had the minutes and the experience. Now he steps onto a Big East stage. Just like a freshman, the first time they're on that free throw line and throw it off the backboard, that doesn't mean they're not a good free throw shooter. It's just a little different adapting to the game and the fast pace and the big arena."
Wright is an aggressive rebounder and strong defensive player, according to Davis.
"Kyle will be a really good weapon for us because he can step out and shoot with really good range," said Davis. "He just needs to shoot it when it comes to him. Plus he might be our most improved defensive player already. He goes after rebounds as hard as everybody.
