One of the league's unsung stars, Matt Wright did it differently. While he wasn't as much of an offensive juggernaut, Wright was known for his defensive skills, even winning a playoff MVP in 2030 for his supreme talent. Will this be enough for him to get into the NBN Hall of Fame?

2030 - Playoff MVP
Arguments For Induction
- A dozen seasons over 2.5 blocks per game shows just how great he was defensively, putting himself in the top 20 of blocks all-time in NBN history.
- Fantastic longevity, 25th all-time in games on top of 30th all-time in rebounds. He spent 16 seasons in the league and played over 60 games in every one of those seasons, even playing an insane 88 gams in 2032.
- Now, for being someone who was used sparingly at the end of his career, still being able to average a double double is pretty spectacular. Toss on the fact that he'd be one of a very small group of players to not make the Hall of Fame as a Playoff MVP, as well as putting up 572 double doubles over his career and winning a championship.
Arguments Against Induction
- Not a whole lot in terms of awards. An All-Star game and Playoff MVP, but outside of that, not a whole lot there.
- Is 10.4/10.2/3.2 stocks worth the Hall of Fame induction? That's a very debatable discussion regardless and I think it may end there, regardless of his longevity and performances.
- Frankly speaking, if he had ended up being a 16/12 player his entire career, it'd probably be a lot closer. I'm not a huge fan of voting people in with no POTW, POTM, ASG's, etc, and his whole case is very lacking honestly. Had he been used as a more valuable piece and not a bench mob character, I'm sure it would be different.
Vote carefully, and remember to throw out arguments regardless of which side you're on. This should be a discussion that eventually gets the league to the proper decision on him. Your vote can also be retracted after it's been cast if you feel like switching to the other side based on the arguments that have been made. To be inducted, a player needs 70% and to be considered in a later class they need 50%. Vote carefully.
***BONUS - Don't forget that everyone who votes gets $25 and the person that makes the best argument or contributes to the discussion the best will be awarded an extra $25***
