The San Antonio Spurs have no shortage of talent on the wings. Last season, Devin Vassell and Julian Champagnie started for them. Keldon Johnson took home Sixth Man of the Year honors. And Harrison Barnes remains a steady veteran. As if that wasn't enough, they added Tobias Harris in free agency.

The guy with the highest ceiling, though, is Carter Bryant. In just his second season, he projects to be an elite defender with sky-high offensive potential. In the Summer League this offseason, he was the lone returning player on the roster, and he made sure that offensive improvement would be his area of focus.

In the Spurs' most recent 123-103 preseason win over the Phoenix Suns, Bryant added 16 points and five rebounds off the bench, going four-for-seven from deep.

Everyone on the roster knows he's a reliable shooter. The only thing he needs to work on is his confidence.

If Bryant can become a reliable volume shooter, he could very easily eventually be the tird or fourth best player on the entire roster. He knows he's more than capable on defense, and seeing shots fall does a lot for his confidence.

"I've known I've been a capable shooter," he said after the game. "I think I said it not too long ago, maybe even like last week, just shooting the ball with confidence. Just the confidence component to my game. I believe I'm very skilled, very talented. But talent means nothing without confidence at the end of the day. I understand I work hard enough to make shots, handle the ball, defend at a high level, rebound at a high level, do whatever you need me to do on the court. But that was something that I just really dialed in on this summer."

Between Victor Wembanyama, De'Aaron Fox, Dylan Harper, and Stephon Castle, Bryant won't have to create for himself and just has to settle into the catch-and-shoot rhythm. Understanding exactly what the expectations are goes a long way.

"I think he's done a good job of seeing where his shots will come from," praised Mitch Johnson. "I think for young players to expect where their shots will come from and then kind of anticipate, in terms of getting themselves ready, whether that's mentally or physically, for their mechanics. A lot of times, when they shoot good ones, a shooter like Carter, you'll start seeing that where they make shots at a high clip."

By the end of the season, don't be surprised if Bryant is rivaling Harris, Vassell, and Champagnie for starting minutes.
