Thomas Bryant, Indiana
DraftExpress Ranking: 35
Position: C
Class: Sophomore
Tournament Odds: 5.43%
Good Wins: vs. Kansas 11/11, vs. UNC 11/30
Profile: Bryant is averaging 12.8 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks per game for the Hoosiers, and although his numbers are up across the board from last year, this preseason third-team All-American may be regretting his decision to return to IU. His draft position has fallen considerably from what was once a lottery position.
Notable Teammates: Fellow sophomore OG Anunoby, ranked 17th by DraftExpress, was averaging 11.1 points, 5.4 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 1.3 steals, and 1.3 blocks per game before undergoing season-ending knee surgery in January. If these two return to IU next year, they could be serious contenders.
