veteran two-way catalyst powering UNC Asheville’s backcourt
In the 2025-26 season, Justin Wright emerged as UNC Asheville’s steady engine, averaging 17.1 points, 3.0 assists, 2.3 turnovers, and leading the Bulldogs with 95 assists, 38 steals, and a .788 free-throw percentage. He’s more than a score sheet guy: Wright brings veteran poise, late-game toughness, and real defensive disruption, with multiple clutch outings like 28 points and 12 in overtime against Longwood. If you want a guard who can create, pressure the ball, and keep his cool in big moments, he fits.
