Scouting Report
Carter Bryant has a lengthy frame, very projectable. He plays with a bounce to his step and some pop. He plays his best in transition. He plays with good balance in straight lines. He is explosive around the basket. A solid rebounder in the 6-foot-8 range, he can go out of his area to secure possessions. Bryant can face up and play off two and three dribbles in the half-court. He gets to the rim with long strides and explodes with a burst. Did not see a jump shot; he preferred to get toward the rim. Would like to see him develop his counter-dribbles when his path gets cut off. There is an upside on the defensive end of the floor. He is twitchy with a great frame. Once he gets his footwork and angles down, he has the fluidity and the lateral ability to guard the ball. He also has the length to get in the passing lanes. Bryant is still raw, but there is an intrigue with his athleticism, frame, and size, and his confidence continues to grow.

Personal Life
Carter Bryant is originally from Riverside, California, and he’s played high school basketball for both Fountain Valley and Sage Hill School in the Los Angeles area. Bryant did not play his freshman season at Fountain Valley because of a broken tibia, but he developed into one of the most versatile players in the Southland as a sophomore. “My favorite thing about playing basketball is the way you can express yourself when you play the game, whether it’s the way you play or the things you wear on the court,” Bryant told the Fountain Valley school newspaper in 2022. “It’s hard to explain because I’ve always been around it and it’s not like a hobby. It’s just a passion for me, so it’s just something I’ve always wanted to be the greatest at, so I just drive myself to be better.” Bryant has athletic success in his family. His father played basketball for Long Beach State, one uncle played basketball at Missouri, another uncle played volleyball at Pepperdine and an aunt played volleyball at Arizona.
