Known for his exceptional shooting accuracy, rebounds, and speed, the 6-foot-10 Bryant is considered one of the NBA’s top promising young centers.

The 23-year-old Bryant, who was a second-round pick in the 2017 NBA Draft going to the Utah Jazz, was later traded along with Josh Hart to the Los Angeles Lakers. In July 2018, Bryant was picked up by the Washington Wizards, and a few months later, in December, he shot 14-for-14 from the field and scored a career-high 31 points against the Phoenix Suns. This was the fourth most shots made without a miss in NBA history.

This past season, Bryant, as the Wizards’ starting center, scored 20 points or more in four of the team’s eight games in the bubble, including a 30-point, 13-rebound effort in an August 2 loss to Brooklyn

As a college player, Bryant was a standout for the Indiana Hoosiers. In his first year, he was named both Big Ten All-Freshman team as well as Third-team All-Big Ten.

Outside of his basketball pursuits, Thomas is an avid gamer and also enjoys playing Call of Duty, Assassin’s Creed, and Madden.
