– Jimmy Smith, The Times-Picayune
When small forward Peja Stojakovic was declared out for at least two weeks with a lower abdominal strain, Wright once again became the New Orleans Hornets’ starter at the position Wednesday night. It was the first time since the seventh game of the regular season, the last in Byron Scotts misguided attempt at utilizing Wrights abundant, yet unrefined, attributes in the starting lineup, that Wright was a starter.
In November, when it was obvious the experiment wasnt working, Scott reinserted Stojakovic as the starter, and Wright again was relegated to spot minutes in and out of the rotation, even after Jeff Bower took over as coach on Nov. 13.
