Lorenzen Wright, a 13 year NBA veteran who was found dead in a Memphis wood on Wednesday, is reported to have been shot to death.

Jul 28, 2010 - Denver, Colorado, U.S. - Police in Collierville, Tennessee, are investigating the disappearance of a former professional basketball player and say 'there is a high level of concern' in the search to find him. LORENZEN WRIGHT, 34, who played 13 seasons in the NBA, has not been seen or heard from since July 18 when he visited his ex-wife and their children in Collierville, near Memphis, investigators said. PICTURED: NBA Basketball, January 21, 2005: Lorenzen Wright of the Memphis Grizzlies during the 92-82 loss to the Denver Nuggets at the Pepsi Center in Denver, Colorado.

Wright was last seen on July 18 and was reported missing by his family July 22. Officials have said they are putting their top investigators on the case.

If Wright was in a risque business deal or under the table crime outfit, I hope it doesn’t get released. Before this incident, he was known as a good man who liked to play basketball; we hope it stays this way. The Steve McNair experience doesn’t need to happen again.

Once again, Bullshome.com wishes the Wright family condolences through this trying time.

Before being traded to the Washington Wizards on draft day, Hinrich was the longest tenured Chicago Bull.

Coming out of Kansas University, he was selected with the seventh overall pick in the 2003 season and then played seven seasons in Chicago. While other players selected the same year as him, Linton Johnson and Ronald Dupree,  and many after, Tyrus Thomas at the top of the list, did nothing to help the Bulls, Hinrich was an every game contributor who made the team better.
