I really think T.Bryant is going to be pretttty good. he's def getting more athletic too. Hit 5 or 6 3s there
I'm just waiting until he figures out to make the first move when it comes to rebounding position, defensive help, etc. This is what keeps him off the floor.
But LAL has a 7' dude that hits corner 3's _________________ Resident Car Nut.

That's a good point. When you're a bit of a sluggish big, you have to do your work early - especially when you're not so strong, for the rebounds.
He also has a chance to be one of our top 3pt shooters.

He is a work in progress but he has indeed made progress in the G-League.
I hope we can keep this kid so he can fully develop.

I've seen the progress with his shot and off-ball play. But making the first move when it comes to defense, getting defensive position, crashing the glass, ... hasn't really changed. He's been getting by on wingspan/athletic tools in the G-league for his boards. _________________ Resident Car Nut.

Yep; Defensively he's not near NBA ready. His work ethic and potential improvement in that area over the off-season will be critical for his overall development.
