Spurs general manager Brian Wright, left, has a chance to add more young pieces to the roster by moving veteran players like Jakob Poeltl at the deadline.CHICAGO - Former Spurs forward Malik Rose was working as a TV analyst for the Philadelphia 76ers when he first noticed a young Orlando Magic scout named Brian Wright.
After stockpiling a slew of draft picks, carving out an impressive amount of cap space that is projected to be between $39 and $47 million this offseason and leading efforts to design the plan that led to the Spurs winning the lottery on Tuesday, Wright is the man of the hour in San Antonio. But throughout it all, he's maintained a low profile, something unlikely to change even as the club's media appeal skyrockets with the expected drafting of French phenom Victor Wembanyama in June.
"I tried to be calm and tried to be respectful of everyone here," Wright said, referring to 13 of his peers in the room representing the other lottery teams.Those who have worked with Wright weren't surprised by the restraint he showed during what had to be one of the most memorable moments of his career.
