Future Missouri Tiger Namon Wright (Los Angeles/Pacific Hills) was named a 2014 All-American by BallisLife.com Thursday and will compete in the publication’s annual All-Star game on May 3 at Long Beach City College.

One of California’s top players and a Top 100 recruit nationally, Wright filled up the stat sheet as a senior at Pacific Hills, averaging 24.2 points, 9.4 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.4 steals per game.

The 6-foot-4 guard saw his shooting numbers elevate as a senior as well, shooting 51 percent from the floor, 41 percent from three-point range and 72 percent from the foul line to earn the All-America accolades. Wright helped lead Pacific Hills to the 2013 state title as a junior and was named his league’s MVP in 2014.

Highlighting Wright’s play as a senior was a 42-point outburst against Compton and 40 points against Long Beach Millikan. The Bruins finished the season 19-10 overall and 11-1 in league play.
