They already have had the #2 overall pick in Dylan Harper.
They pick up here Carter Bryant.
This is 14 overall.
What’s this?
That’s his suits giving R&B.
His suit’s giving a shirt on.
I wanna see that bird?
Put a shirt on, young man.
But you can’t tell me that back in the 90s you weren’t rocking that.
I’m not that old.
I mean, his suit is a lot more stylish than this game, which is pretty basic.
I don’t, I don’t mean it, I don’t mean it as a negative.
It’s actually a.
Because basic can be good in the context of winning basketball.
67 7 ft wing, classic 3&D type of guy.
Its spot up threes, plays hard on defense, and he’s got an amazing frame, wide, broad shoulders, could become one of those positionalist beasts on the defensive end of the floor and with him.

I’m not quite as high on Carter Bryant as a lot of people are.
Many, many draft analysts out there have him ranked in the top 10.
I had him in the middle of the first round, 15 to 18 range on my board, but I will say this he played his best basketball in the biggest games.
He shot 45% in 3 conference tournament games in 3 March Madness games.
With Carter Bryant, he got better over the course of the season at the least.
He’s a 3&D style guy and guess what?
We talked about shooting and the need for the Spurs.
That’s what they get here with Carter Bryant in a pair with Victor Wambanyama and their existing core.

Then what do you give this grade?
I don’t, I, I don’t mind this.
I don’t mind this all right?
OK, this is because look, he just hugged Andre Iguodala coming up and I’m like.
That would, if he turned out to be an IA dollar type of player if he improved the handle, once again, the handle is the hardest thing to get, but as a defender and as a shooter, if those are two things that I can depend on you to do off my bench, you’re gonna play 15 to 20 minutes a game until you figure all those other things and then you become a long rangy starter.
All he has to do is funnel to the guy who’s blocking 5 shots a game.

And put a shirt on.
That’s all.
Put a shirt on.
This right here is fly.
I love I love I love the confidence.
I love the the shirt on this shirt.
You don’t need no shirt.
You do what you do, Carter.
Little Jesus is there to cover something like that’s a bird.
That’s a. Thanksgiving are young guys.
These are 1819, 20 year olds, they haven’t developed yet.
Where’s their uncle’s got somebody that’s gonna tell you, Hey, this ain’t it can’t be like that.
It takes a confident young man to pull something off like it takes a village to raise a child.
Where’s the village?
