“I DON’T BELONG HERE” Carter Bryant’s Rookie Struggles + Devin Vassell’s BRUTAL NBA Welcome

San Antonio Spurs forward Carter Bryant joins Richard Jefferson, Channing Frye and Allie Clifton after Summer League to unpack a rookie year that stretched from the regular season all the way to the NBA Finals. Carter reveals how veterans tested him from his first NBA minutes, why Devin Vassell and Kelly Olynyk made him question whether he belonged, and how defense helped him earn meaningful Finals minutes.

Carter also shares Coach Pop’s brutally honest jab-step critique, the calls and texts he receives after every game, his favorite Arizona and Spurs stories, and the family connection that made him a lifelong ambassador for the deaf community.
