Carter Bryant made an impossible decision easy for Mitch Johnson
Carter Bryant | Daniel Dunn-Imagn ImagesAfter being picked 10th in the 2025 NBA Draft, San Antonio Spurs' Carter Bryant appeared to be a project. He showcased his elite defensive ability in the NBA Summer League, which earned him minutes for the Spurs during the first half of the season.
However, until recently, he struggled mightily, raising questions about why he wasn't spending time in Austin. Missed dunk after missed dunk, threes that were barely hitting the rim, and being far too jumpy on defense didn't help his case.
Fortunately, Spurs coach Mitch Johnson stuck with him. Bryant's game has done a complete 180, proving Johnson was right to have faith in him.
