I generally agree with your post but I'd like to point out a couple things that really stood out for me.  Bryant was a fantastic communicator and director on the defensive end, constantly talking and calling out where the AT players were.  Regardless of whether he plays the 4 or 5 with us, that kind of communication is extremely valuable in our zone and something that some of our current bigs (namely Rak and DC) often lack.  I also like his rebounding thought process.  When the ball was in the air, Bryant's first thought was to find a body to box out, even to a fault a couple of times where he backed himself out of rebounding position when looking for a man.  Over time he'll fine tune that, it's just great to see that he takes defense and rebounding fundamentals so seriously.  On the offensive end, when in the low and mid-post, he was calling for the ball a lot.  He's probably used to working against weaker defenders than Lyles but I like the aggressiveness and confidence Bryant shows.  Come 2015, he'll be ready to make an instant impact.  He is a must get IMO!
