Carter Bryant may not be an official part of San Antonio’s rotation yet, but his Summer League performance may have already created a buzz among the coaching staff. The Spurs drafted him 14th overall with the expectation that he would take some time to develop, but his defensive intensity and effort level may have pushed the coaches to rethink how he could fit into meaningful minutes as early as his rookie season.
What made national headlines more than anything during Summer League for Bryant was his stellar defense against top overall pick and new Dallas Mavericks franchise player Cooper Flagg.
