Justin Wright-Foreman

Hofstra's coach spotted him scoring 48 points in a Las Vegas tournament game and offered him a scholarship — years later Wright-Foreman tied Hofstra's single-game record with another 48 against William and Mary. Twice the Colonial Athletic Association Player of the Year, the Queens guard was drafted 53rd by Utah in 2019 and signed a two-way contract.

Most of his Jazz-era minutes came with the Salt Lake City Stars, and the scoring has since gone global — he led Canada's CEBL at 29.2 points per game in 2023 and has played in France, Turkey, Germany, Mexico, Italy, Qatar and Greece before signing with Zaragoza in Spain in 2026.

HOW HE CAME & WENTUtah drafted him 53rd overall in 2019 and signed him to a two-way contract that July.
