Brandan Wright on his starting role with the Dallas Mavericks

Brandan Wright 14.5 PPG
Brandan Wright found himself in Dallas last year to play limited role as a bench player. Someone that had good size and great potential, but a backup. In the 2011-12 season, his first with Dallas, Wright averaged 6.9 points per game in his backup role. This season since being inserted as a starter due to an injured Dirk Nowitzki, he is averaging 14.5 points per game. We caught up with 6 '10 210lbs power forward before taking on the 1-0 Charlotte Bobcats to find out what he thinks about his current role on the team and his offensive game coming to life.

RF: Tell me a little bit about how you feel about your role on this team having the start the first two games. How do you feel about having a starting role?
