New Orleans ? For weeks, writers have written about the Wrights, analyzing which Wright is right for which NBA team.

Brandan Wright or Julian Wright – both are likely top-10 picks in Thursday’s NBA draft. But which player will be the better pro? Who has the right stuff?

“If I was the best Wright, that would be a great accomplishment,” Brandan Wright said with a smile. “But Julian is pretty good.”

Brandan Wright of North Carolina might have the edge over Julian Wright of Kansas.

He is a 6-foot-9 forward who bounces in and out of the lane and can score from all over the court.

“A lot of people have been comparing me to (Toronto Raptors power forward) Chris Bosh – body type, left-handed,” Brandan Wright said. “I’ll definitely take that. If I become half the player he is right now, it would be a great honor. . . . I can bring another dimension, a guy who can run the floor, score in transition, create matchup problems, block shots, be a defensive presence.”

In his lone season at North Carolina, he led the Atlantic Coast Conference by shooting 64.6 percent and led his team with 65 blocks. He averaged 14.7 points per game and 6.2 rebounds.

“He’s not just a pretty good player, he’s a very good player,” New York Knicks coach Isiah Thomas said. “I think when it’s all said and done, I think he’ll be one of the guys remembered from the draft. His athleticism, shot blocking and shot-making ability, having played in the ACC, against that competition. And he hasn’t even grown into his body yet.”

Brandan is projected to go in the top six – he reportedly had a stellar workout with Milwaukee, which drafts sixth – and Julian Wright’s name is splattered all over the lottery picks in mock drafts. Julian Wright, who played two seasons at Kansas, plays similarly to Brandan. Though the Jayhawk is an inch shorter, he is difficult to contain, due to what Danny Manning calls his “elasticity.”

Manning, a Kansas legend and now an assistant coach, spoke like a Jayhawks fan when describing his protege.

“He can contort and twist and stop on a dime and change directions,” said Manning. “I don’t know too many guys who are that flexible. I think he has a lot of characteristics of some talented big guys, who can play multiple positions and have multiple skills. He reminds me of a Shawn Marion or a Boris Diaw with his height and being able to create off a dribble. Also, a good passing forward like Scottie Pippen, especially when he runs into the middle of a zone.”

One thing that could hurt him in the draft is his shooting range. Manning said Julian Wright has a great work ethic, which can only help improve his shot.

This draft is loaded at forward, with Texas’ Kevin Durant likely going second to Seattle. Florida’s Al Horford, many around the league have said, is the most NBA-ready of the “other” forwards. Yi Jianlian of China is a 7-foot power forward with international intrigue. Georgetown’s Jeff Green is nearly 6-10, but he said he can play small forward.
