Everyone expected the Spurs to select Dylan Harper with the second pick of the draft. What surprised the experts, however, was that Carter Bryant fell all the way to 14th. Victor Wembanyama’s new teammate has a unique trait that makes you want to see him succeed.
San Antonio had only one objective this summer: to improve and build a squad capable of reaching the playoffs next season. Mission accomplished with a seriousness that shows the quality of the Spurs organization. While the directors could have been panicked by Gregg Popovich’s departure, they have worked intelligently.
While their name came up in numerous rumors, notably those surrounding Kevin Durant, the Spurs finally kept a low profile and concentrated on the draft.

They taught me to see this condition not as a handicap, but as an identity, a culture and a strength. Thanks to them, I’ve been able to meet some remarkable people. Basketball is my platform, and I’m happy to be able to showcase my family and the deaf community. I’m honored to put the spotlight on it.”
Carter Bryant not only represents his family and the University of Arizona in the NBA, he also wants to set an example for all hearing-impaired people in the USA. Having grown up with deaf grandparents, he had no choice but to learn sign language. It’s a source of pride for him, and all the more reason to want him to succeed alongside Victor Wembanyama.
