"Thomas Bryant's wait for another team will have to continue as the NBA season approaches quickly. The Indiana product has been quite the journeyman throughout the start of his professional career and while being a journeyman isn't the worst case scenario, the constant lack of security to stick on a roster is a feeling that no player in the league wants to deal with."
"Bryant in particular is a bit of a surprising player to remain unsigned at this point of the offseason considering his talent level and the constant need of front court insurance for teams around the league. After an impressive stint in the postseason with the Indiana Pacers last season during their run to the NBA Finals, the big man seemed like a candidate to find a home quickly when free agency began this offseason."
Thomas Bryant has remained unsigned as the NBA preseason approaches. The Indiana product has been a journeyman, and repeated short-term stops have created ongoing roster insecurity. Bryant's talent and the league-wide need for frontcourt insurance made his free-agent status surprising. The big man posted an impressive postseason with the Indiana Pacers during their run to the NBA Finals, positioning him as a potential quick addition in free agency. Interest emerged from at least one Eastern Conference contender. The New York Knicks explored signing Bryant but ultimately prioritized backcourt depth, signing Malcolm Brogdon and Landry Shamet. Brogdon's Sixth Man award justified his addition, while Shamet earning a spot over Bryant could prompt debate.
