Ricardo Wright is a 6’4″ athletic guard with a strong scoring instinct, a smooth shooting stroke, and reliable range from deep—his consistency from beyond the arc places him among KSU’s more trusted shooters. He brings veteran experience from Division I programs at Marist and SMU, showing the ability to create his own shot off the bounce, stretch the floor, and make smart decisions in late-game situations. Defensively, he’s active and competitive, with quick hands and the stamina to navigate both backcourt and wing responsibilities. His athleticism enables solid lateral movement and the ability to finish in transition. Wright fits well in uptempo systems, offers floor spacing, and provides two-way energy—making him a versatile cog in KSU’s backcourt rotation.
