After his time with the Lakers, I talked with Thomas Bryant about his focus in the NBA.
“Keep playing on the defensive end. Being the versatile player that I can be. Knock down shots, roll to the rim, get the rebounds and score the basketball.”

Heat reportedly trade reserve big man Thomas Bryant to the Pacers for a second-round pick
