Re: Elijah Bryant = newest bball player
From what I could see in the video fits the big, strong, skilled guard mold. He isn't a explosive athlete and I didn't see a single defensive highlight. He is listed at 6'4" 225. Hopefully he is enough of athlete to hang defensively.
I read he did a year a prep school and played a year at Elon. He is 20 now. So when he starts to play he will be 21-24. He should be a useful rotation player.

Re: Elijah Bryant = newest bball player
Thanks E-Zone. These are very good stats. I was thinking he should be considered for tight end but if he can produce like that he should be of use.E-Zone15 wrote:Qman wrote:From what I could see in the video fits the big, strong, skilled guard mold.
