“Hameir Wright is an exceptional basketball player," said Mark Fruscio, head coach at Lansingburgh High. "He does so many things well on the court. He can rebound, shoot and handle the ball, making him a match-up nightmare. What is most impressive is that the game comes so easily to him that it's almost like he's doing everything while exerting very little effort.”
