Justin Wright-Foreman (born October 27, 1997) is an American college basketball player for Hofstra.

Hofstra coach Joe Mihalich spotted Wright-Foreman at a basketball tournament in Los Angeles where he scored 40 points in a game, and offered him a scholarship. He played sparingly as a freshman due to subpar defense. His breakout game came in a blowout loss to Kentucky as a sophomore, where he scored 14 points. In subsequent games, he upped his scoring average substantially, finishing at 18.5 points per game.[1]

As a junior, Wright-Foreman averaged 24.2 points per game, fifth-highest in NCAA Division I. He also contributed 3.1 assists per game, ninth in the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA). He scored over 30 points in seven games. At the conclusion of the regular season he was named CAA Player of the Year.[2] Following the season Wright-Foreman declared for the 2018 NBA draft but did not hire an agent to preserve his collegiate eligibility.[3]
