Spurs’ Carter Bryant Impresses in Summer League Debut

Carter Bryant, the San Antonio Spurs' 14th overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, made his Summer League debut with a seven-point performance, displaying his solid shooting and defensive skills. At Arizona, Bryant averaged 6.5 points, 4.1 rebounds, and shot 37.1% from three, primarily coming off the bench. The Spurs view him as a promising 3-and-D wing with significant long-term upside, particularly as a complement to Victor Wembanyama. Bryant has drawn comparisons to Spurs legend Sean Elliott and models aspects of his game after Kawhi Leonard, despite Leonard's controversial exit from the team. He signed a rookie contract starting at $4.9 million and is expected to develop gradually behind veteran players. Bryant described his NBA opportunity as surreal and aims to build a lasting career with San Antonio.
