At last, Deborah Marion — Lorenzen Wright’s mother, who never gave up hope that this day would come — gets the justice and closure that has eluded her for seven years. Amazing.— John Martin (@JohnMartin929) December 5, 2017
Wright attended the University of Memphis and was drafted 7th overall by the Los Angeles Clippers in 1996. The 96 draft was one of the greatest drafts of all-time. Allen Iverson was selected 1st and the Charlotte Hornets selected Kobe Bryant with their 13th pick and traded him to the Los Angeles Lakers.
