NORTHRIDGE, Calif.---CSUN Men's Basketball's sophomore guard Atin Wright earned an All-Big West Honorable Mention nod on Monday, the league office announced.
A native of Lakewood, Calif., Wright led the Matadors in scoring during the regular season, averaging 14.8 points per game. Wright played in 28 of 29 games and made the most starts on the team with 27. He averaged a team-high 34.0 minutes per game to go with an 82.7 free throw percentage (91-of-110). Wright also made a team-best 52 field goals from 3-point range while he registered 2.3 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.2 steals per game.
Wright provided the Matadors with consistent offense throughout the year, posting double-figure outputs in 24 of 28 games. The 6-2 guard scored 20 or more points in five games and would score a season-high 28 points in three different games against the likes of Portland State (Dec. 18), Cal State Fullerton (Feb. 19) and Hawai'i (March 5). In Big West play, Wright would average 16.1 points per game and make 32-of-90 from 3-point range (35.6 percent).
On the Big West leaderboards, Wright is seventh in third in minutes per game, seventh in points per game, eighth in free throw percentage and ninth in steals per game.
This season saw Wright average 10 points more than his freshman season in 2020-21. He also posted new career highs in minutes, field goal percentage, 3-point field goal percentage, free throw percentage, rebounding, assists and steals. In two seasons at CSUN, Wright has totaled 511 points in 49 games.
