Carter Bryant met with the media at the NBA Draft Combine on Wednesday and continues to be excited about the entire process.
"I think it's a great experience," Bryant said. "It's such a unique experience. Not many people get the opportunity to be here. I am trying to soak it all in and take advantage of the moment. Appreciate every opportunity I get to do so. It's a great experience going into the room and answering questions and being able to be yourself and authentic."
Bryant has already met with multiple teams and the questioning varies.
"I've met with the Dallas Mavericks, Golden State Warriors, Brooklyn Nets, Portland Trailblazers, and Minnesota as well," he said. "It's been amazing. I am a kid that dreamed to be in this position. If you told eight year old Carter he would be in this position, he would be ecstatic.
"I kind of approach it with that same mindset and not put too much pressure on myself. My first meeting my voice felt shaky not because of a lack of confidence, but this is the moment I have dreamed of.
"I have had teams where I have had to draw on the board and others where they ask me some questions in a serious manner and more casual conversations, Also teams where I watch film and they want to see my thought process through plays."
Reflecting on his freshman season at Arizona, Bryant believes he improved in multiple areas and credited the coaching staff for that improvement.
"As this year progressed, I spent a lot of time with TJ Benson and Rem Bakamus," he said. "They did a great job of kind of speeding up my shot and allowing me to get my feet down. As the season progressed I got a lot more comfortable shooting off the move and off the dribble. As the season progressed, I made a lot of big time shots and I think that's a testament to my work, coaching staff, and the brief the coaching staff had in me as well."
Bryant sees the possibility for a similar progression in the NBA and certainly is not lacking in confidence.
"Early in the league I feel like I am a guy that can guard multiple positions," he said. "I feel like I am capable of guarding one through four right now. I need to get a little bit stronger, but eventually I see myself as a guy that can guard all five positions on the floor.
"I watch a lot of Toumani Camara right now, Trey Murphy, Herb Jones, Jrue Holiday, Derrick White. I see myself being one of the stars in this league. I watch a lot of film on Kyrie, Devin Booker, and Jayson Tatum as well.
"I understand there's a progression to get to that point, but know I am capable of it. I know I am capable of being one of the best players in this league and it is something I have to work on every day."
