Depends on how you define "Player of the Decade"

Personally, I think that we have yet to see Chris Wright's total impact on UD basketball. His press far exceeds any other single player. His impact on recruiting could possibly be the thing that pushes us into the next echlon of D-1 basketball. Our recruiting classes are getting better each year. Chris's presence has jumpstarted our local Dayton recruiting. He has two post-seasons to yet unfold. He got us the only NCAA win we have since peach basket goals. To date, he is not the single best fundamental player. But you can counter that by saying his total athleticism will give him the best "chance" of being the first Flyer to stick in the NBA someday. No other Flyer comes close to that statement. Brian Roberts, who I think is the most accomplished player skill-wise in this decade, will never make the NBA because he is a "tweener" like Chapman was.

Odds are Wright will be the single greatest influence on Dayton basketball ever, because his presence has counted for so much more than his play.

But that jury is still out. It's too early to vote.
