00:00And the pick is now officially in to end out the 2025 draft lottery at 14th overall.
00:07The Spurs' second selection of the night is Arizona's Carter Bryant.
00:12JY, a similar theme here for this San Antonio side.
00:16A ton of young and promising talent.
00:19And Bryant will join this 2025 draft class alongside the number two overall selection, Dylan Harper.
00:26What do you make of the move?
00:27Do you like the pick for the Spurs here at 14th overall?
00:30I'm just happy it wasn't a guard because myself and probably K-Dub would have lost our ever-loving mind.
00:36But Carter Bryant, athletic, bouncy, shot blocker.
00:40And now I'm like, hmm, him and Webb and Yama?
00:44Good luck, you know, getting to the basket with those two guys.
00:48So frequency athletic, offensive game will grow.
00:51It kind of makes you think about, you know, do they have a year when he comes off the bench?
00:55Bring him along slowly.
00:57Try to use your player development, Ben, to develop his offensive game a little bit better.
01:01And then probably then try to move Kelvin Johnson, who should have value in the open market if someone wants to trade him.
01:07But as long as it's not a guard, they dress that already in the draft.
01:11Now they're going to the front court and giving themselves a little bit more depth.
01:14So, Kev, Tom Carter Bryant out of Arizona at times this week.
01:18Flirting around even money to be a top ten pick.
01:21From the odds perspective, he doesn't go in the top ten, but does end out the lottery.
01:26What do the odds tell us about where Carter Bryant might fall tonight?
01:30That the Spurs got a lot of value here at 14.
01:33This was a player who many were projecting to be a top ten selection.
01:38Some thought that if the Suns were going to look towards the wing, you absolutely could see Carter Bryant be their man.
01:45And just to coach's point quickly about the log jam at guard, I think both Jace Richardson and Kasparis Yacuchonis are players I'm more interested in in the draft.
01:56But Carter Bryant is absolutely the right pick over those guys.
01:59Oh, yeah.
01:59Due to what is on the San Antonio roster, Carter Bryant is a player, Tom.
02:05No rookie of the year juice.
02:07But I could see being a starter on this basketball team by next season.
02:12Pure three and D guy.
02:13We talked about this pre-show that he is not going to be on flashy highlights.
02:18But when NBA GMs look at him and look at his frame, they're like, we would love to have this guy or a similar type.
02:25And when you have the offense around him, as coaches allume to, he's just going to play his role.
02:29The offensive game will happen.
02:31It'll take some time.
02:32But if you play defense with the scoring around him, it makes them into a well-rounded team.
02:36And that's what you need.
02:37He's not going to be an exciting like, oh, I want to bet props on this guy in a night in the night out basis.
02:41But he's a key component to a team that is looking to take a step forward.
