As one of the best players in his school year, Bryant had a choice between Kentucky, Syracuse, and UCLA, among others, which we’re very interested in him, but he chose Indiana even though his mother was for Syracuse. He decided not to go with college because its basketball program was in chaos at the time.

He played for Indiana from 2015 to 2017 when he decided to play for the 2017 NBA Draft. The striker/midfielder played a total of 69 games for the college and had a good statistical average of 6.2 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 0.6 steals, 1.2 blocks, and 12.2 points per game.

He was drafted by Utah Jazz as the 42nd Overall Pick but was later traded in alongside Josh Hart for Tony Bradley at the Los Angeles Lakers. He was sent to the team’s G-League subsidiary, the South Bay Lakers. There he was appointed to the first team of the All NBA G League in 2018 and to the all-rookie team of the NBA G League.

In June 2018, the Lakers gave him up before the 2018/2019 NBA season, just one week before his contract was guaranteed. Based on the rookie scale contract he signed with the team in July 2017, he was to receive a guaranteed $1.38 million for the season. After the waiver, the Rochester-born player was claimed by the Washington Wizards.
