Despite Carter Bryant's limited role, production and creation, there will be first-round interest in an athletic, 6'8" wing with clear shotmaking ability and defensive quickness/tools.
Teams may have to use their imaginations to picture serious upside, but Bryant has an NBA foundation and coveted archetype.

25. Orlando Magic: Walter Clayton Jr. (Florida, PG/SG)
Size: 6'3", 195 lbs
Age: 22
Nationality: USA
Pro Comparisons: Payton Pritchard, Cole Anthony, Fred VanVleet
Confidence in Walter Clayton Jr. peaked after his 34 points against Auburn. The fearlessness and clutch shotmaking have scouts starting to buy in and ultimately look past the size questions for a scoring guard.
He shot extremely well during drills at the NBA combine, and while there may be some doubts about a 6'3" scoring guard, his shooting and toughness should create enough theoretical bench-spark potential.

So hitting on cheap, cost controlled non-lotto first round picks is actually going to be important moving forward.
I have no problem making both picks, even if the guys they pick aren't huge contributors next season. They can grow and develop into guys that can play for cheap.

Most those guys were a reach for even the 1st round. Lendeborg is the one player I saw mocked a couple of times in the 1st round but not any of the others. I believe he was even falling out of the 1st round.
Pettiford was one of the best rookies in college.
Fland was like a Hanpton/Cole that was highly rated before college
Yeah Condon is a reach but i read that due to needingba REAL 7fter.. Condon/Reynaud/Kalkbrenner couldve sneaked in.
He has been a 2nd round pick the entire time.
He played at the NBA combine. He was trying to get in the 1st round.

Rookie guards are not going to help this season. Win now is adding a vet to address gaps.

you can't know that, plus who knows what our financial situation will look like and what will open up....there is a realistic situation where we may need rookies to help fill the roster because that's all we can afford

Are we planning to develop TDS? Otherwise.. another wing in Bryant is... redundant? Unless we getting rid of Jett and Caleb.
WCJr is good for the future. Especially if we get rid of Cole.. but rather use it for a big

Wing wouldn't be my preference, but I think Bryant could also play the 4. Isaac is currently our only backup there, we know how reliable that is. Plus I don't think TDS is someone I would base moves around, he is a nice depth piece, but if Bryant is extremely high on their board TDS doesn't block that IMO.
So many things at play here, obviously a good trade is preferable, but if it doesn't come together or they move 25 or a future pick for a guard then I think they reasonably could just take the highest guy on their board and worry about it later. To me Bryant would be good value at 16, I happen to have guards/bigs I like similarly or even better, but my board isn't going to be their board.
I do like Bryant though, I wouldn't be mad at the pick at all... assuming a guard is acquired

Your delusional if you think a rookie guard will add any value this year.

Yeah, 7 foot wingspan, 8'10 standing reach. Already sneaky strong, will expect a 19 year old to get stronger and maybe even taller. He's a big wing, those guys play 4 at times. Maybe not in every lineup ever, but definitely an option especially if he puts on weight.
Not even just based on measurements, but me watching him play I think it will be an option for his playstyle. Regardless, my main point is if he is BPA by a lot for them TDS shouldn't impact that decision. Right now though I am not imagining that will be the case as I don't think he is getting to 16.
