Delon Wright could take a few life lessons from his brother's letter.

TORONTO — The Toronto Raptors signed first-round pick Delon Wright to his rookie-scale contract Friday.

The University of Utah guard was selected with the 20th overall pick in last month’s NBA Draft. He’s under contract through the 2016-’17 season with two team option years to follow.

Wright, a six-foot-five 190-pounder, averaged 14.5 points, 4.9 rebounds, 5.1 assists and 2.1 steals over 35 games last season. He plans to play in the summer league in Las Vegas.
