Carter Bryant's claim to fame is his defense, and he's proud of that. Listen to just about any interview with the kid. He always emphasizes defense. He thrives off of it. So, it should be no surprise that less than 10 seconds into his minutes, he steals a pass while rotating to what should have been an open man in the corner. It's an early demonstration of his defensive range.

Recently, ESPN's Tim Legler made a bold claim when he predicted that Bryant would win a Defensive Player of the Year award in five years. That is already a difficult accomplishment to achieve without having one of the greatest defenders we've ever seen on your team.
