Patrick O’Bryant
Height: 7-0 | Weight: 250 | Position: C
 
SportsLine's Analysis
No one's sure what position O'Bryant plays because of his poor body. He's too weak to defend most centers, but he's not skilled enough -- and probably not athletic enough -- to play power forward on offense. The Kings need a center, though, so here you go. The best of a bad remaining lot. - Gregg Doyel

An agile 7-footer with great potential? Sounds ideal for the center-starved Warriors, who have done a nice job stockpiing young big men with the picks of Andris Biedrins and Ike Diogu in recent drafts. - Tony Mejia

Scouting Report
After a solid freshman season in which he averaged 10 points and 7.4 rebounds, O'Bryant made a name for himself during his sophomore campaign, and some scouts consider him the top true center prospect in the draft. After serving an eight-game NCAA suspension for being paid for work he didn't perform, O'Bryant promptly posted 33 points and 30 rebounds in his first two games. He is a legitimate 7-footer and has a 7-foot-6 wingspan. While inconsistent, O'Bryant's domination of Pittsburgh's Aaron Gray in the second round of the NCAA tournament provided a glimpse of what the future may hold. In that second-round NCAA tournament game, O'Bryant abused Gray, also a potential first-rounder, for 28 points in Bradley's 72-66 upset of the Panthers. O'Bryant has enough post moves to be effective near the basket but is far from a finished product. He was an efficient shooter during his two years with the Braves, making more than 55 percent of his shots. While his defense will be his strongest asset his first few seasons, he can contribute offensively. O'Bryant's size and athleticism will make him an interesting prospect with an outside chance of being selected in the top 10 should he remain in the draft. (AP)
