If I am remembering right, Carter said his dad was one of Kawhi's coaches in high school and he grew up watching this team/dynasty. Said Kawhi is one of his favourite players. Said he's ready to bring San Antonio back to the hilltop.
Both of these guys seem excited to play for the Spurs.
That’s Wemby’s assignment. He’s going to want it.
Anyway. Carter Bryant doesn’t need the ball - won’t pound the air out of it when he has it - won’t demand it either.
Defend and make open 3s that’s all. He develops into to more a bonus for Spurs.
Big fan of this pick
3 and D is one of the easier roles to walk into for a young guy just starting out in the NBA assuming they have the requisite attributes (namely a decent shooting stroke and a solid physique/athletic profile). CB seems to meet those requirements, finding him a few minutes here and there with the main team would be cool, but he would likely be better served getting more G League reps early on when that starts up which is fine.
That is assuming he is not further along than we are expecting.
We literally have no 3 in the entire roster, other than Bryant.
No room for a lottery pick on a roster of a 6-time consecutive lotto team! We're just too stacked!
No ing kiddingI get that Bryant is on the rawer side of things, but this idea that he should be stuck in Austin or only playing garbage minutes behind guys like Keldon/Barnes/Champagnie is laughable. If he’s anywhere close to the prospect people think he is (widely considered top-10 caliber) then he should be getting 10-15 mpg to start and 15-20 mpg towards the end of the season.
He’s like a more engaged MPJ.
Yeah, he’s really only limited to two dribbles and then he pulls up. Which is fine. We don’t need the world from him. Maybe he can be like Klay Thompson a bit.
It's important to note that even for the best 3 and D guys of the past generation, a majority of them didn't generate close to positive value until age 22-23, so it will be important to temper expectations. Age 20 LDN, Battier, Klay, and Toumani were all in college. There is a strong likelihood Carter Bryant is going to a massive negative next year if he plays and it will be important to not knee-jerk react if he puts up 2/1/0.5 on 39/27/67 shooting - literally Danny Green's age 22 rookie year stats.
The fact that we drafted a 3&D role player for this team has immeasurable value. We really don’t need him to become Kawhi. And he himself knows he is far from Kawhi. He knows that he will get playing time by hitting open shots and playing defense. We are all set on the offensive side of the ball and really he might get 6 shots a game if he is lucky.
I seriously see him averaging his same stats as he did in Arizona. Harper is going to get all the media hype. We just need Bryant to hit the same shooting percentages he did in college. Man I really ing wish we didn’t miss on Sochan. Bc this team would be a le contender next year if that dude could actually play offensively. I know Bryant won’t be starting and will be behind Vassell and Champ in the rotation but this kid is going to be a difference maker in two years once the Spurs were out KJ, Vassell, and Sochan.
Rookie year Kawhi production isn't asking for much. Hopefully Mitch gives him as many opportunities as possible.
Oh, he’s a coach’s kid? That’s perfect
Great analysis of CB and why he's such a steal. Very exciting stuff.
Dear Spurs,
Please give Carter Bryant number 2, because Kawhi Leonard.
Love, O_V
EDIT: Lol, forgot about the other new guy. Still Kawhi.
Carter Bryant shall erase the ghost of Primo.....
THE ERASER.....!
Never thought of that. Both of these guys have the potential to erase the wrong doing of both of those numbers.
Never thought of that. He can erase the history of that number. Crazy as it is to say, even Dylan has the potential to do it too.
GODA - Grandchild of deaf adults
GOATA
Okay, I'll keep working on that one.
Did Bryant have knee surgery? Looks to have a long scar on his knee.
Edit: He has had injury issues with his knee, knee surgery

Almost 3 blks and 2 steals a game. CB will feast on loose balls from
Wemby’s defense/blocks (once he starts playing beside Wemby. An opportunistic scorer who doesn’t need the ball on his hands. He’s a perfect complement to Wemby.
