Stats: 7 p/g, 4 r/g, 37% 3pt
Measurables: 6'7" - 215 lbs - 7'0" wingspan
Carter Bryant is an intriguing forward prospect with elite positional size, defensive instincts, and offensive versatility. His physical tools, standing at 6'7" with a 7'0" wingspan, allow him to impact both ends of the floor. While his role at Arizona was limited, he showcased flashes of his talent, particularly with his ball-handling and decision-making. Bryant is a menace on defense, using his length and instincts to disrupt plays. His switchability allows him to guard multiple positions effectively. He crashes the glass at an elite rate and makes great outlet passes to kick-start transition offense. His 7-foot wingspan and strong frame make him a valuable asset defensively and on the boards. While he shot well from deep, his overall offensive game is raw. He wasn’t asked to create much at Arizona, leaving questions about his ability to be a shot creating scorer. Bryant also had more turnovers than assists, which raises questions about his ability to handle the ball under pressure. Bryant has the tools to be a valuable two-way player in the NBA. His defensive prowess and rebounding ability make him an attractive prospect, but his offensive development will determine his ceiling. If he can work on his scoring and playmaking, he could carve out a role as a versatile wing.
