Intervista da parte di eurobasket.com a John Bryant:

John Bryant (208-C-87, college: Santa Clara) is a 24 year old 208cm center from San Pablo, California that just completed his second season with ratiopharm Ulm. He played at Santa Clara from 2005-2009 and in his senior year averaged 18.1ppg, RebNCAA-2 (14.2rpg), 1.1apg, 2.5bpg, FGP: 59.6%, FT: 78.7% . In 2009-2010, he played for the Erie Bay Hawks (D-League): 48 games: 13.2ppg, 9.5rpg, 1.6apg, 1.5bpg, FGP: 49.3%, FT: 77.6% . Last season, he moved to ratiopharm Ulm playing 34 games: 14.6ppg, Reb-1 (10.9rpg), 1.1apg, Blocks-2 (1.5bpg), FGP: 60.4%, FT: 74.2% . He spoke to Eurobasket about basketball.

Ratiopharm Ulm is the Cinderella story this season. If someone had told you a week into preseason that ratiopharm Ulm would be so high in the standings what would you have said?

I would not have been shocked, but I would never have thought we would be so high, but I would have thought that we would be in the playoffs. We got the chemistry fast and brought in experience with Esterkamp and Swann that has made the team better

ratiopharm Ulm had a tough preseason. How much did you hate the coaching staff then, but how thankful are you now that you went through hell?

It was a tough preseason. Every day we were on the track or in the gym. We all were a bit angry at the start, but in the long run it did help this team become so good and we understand why coach did that and we are thankful.

Why did the chemistry between coach and players harmonize so well?

He is a young coach, but he just understands us. He knows now how tough the season has been physically and will give us off days on occasion. He knows what we are going through and we just get along very well.

What has been a difficulty at the end of the season for the team?

Not being able to start strong. We had some games where we trailed quickly by 10-12 points, but picked it up in the second half. We have to understand that a basketball game has 40 minutes.

Who has been the most improved player this season?

I think that it has been Tommy Mason Griffin. At the start of the season he was pushing the ball in transition and making bad decisions, but now he is making the right decisions and knowing when and not to pull back.

Ratiopharm Ulm has many weapons but also 12 players that bring something special to the team. What does Sebastian Betz bring to the team most?

His energy and 100 effort is his best asset. He does so much especially crashing the boards. I am happy to have him on the team, because he is a pain for other teams.

What is the most incredible thing that you have seen Isaiah Swann?

The way he is able to handle the ball is amazing. He will do his floaters and I will come to try to block him, but its difficult. He is very good at getting off shots anywhere in the paint with his right or left hand.

You are the most efficient player in the Beko BBL. How thankful are you for Mike Taylor bringing you to Ulm?

I am very thankful that he took a chance on me. I talk to him often and always remind him. I am totally in debt to him.

What did you learn from Mike Taylor?

Just by seeing his enthusiasm and love for the game made we want to work harder. It just rubbed off on me.

What is a strength in your game that doesnt always get recognized right away?

I look like a bruiser who just will pound inside, but I dont really get the chance to show off my 15-17 footers

What NBA shooter did you always like as a big man?

Back in the day, I liked Reggie Miller and how he acted on the court and hit clutch shots. Now its Dirk Nowitzki.

Steve Esterkamp and Isaiah Swann are parked in the corner and each get 100 shots each, who will hit more shots?

I think that Esterkamp will hit more shots. When his shot is on, he just doesnt miss. Even if he misses a shot, he wont miss another one.

What was your childhood like?

I had a great childhood in the bay area. It was a great place to grow up. I grew up with many cultures and the basketball competition was great also.

Who were your NBA idols?

I liked Shaq. He is a funny guy with a personality that is one of a kind. I loved watching his game.

At one point at Santa Clara, you weighed 175 kilos. Who helped you most mentally and physically shed the weight?

I first had a weight trainer who got me to get on the bike or treadmill after practice to burn some calories. In my last two years, I had a functional trainer and my coach helped me mentally telling me I could have a shot to play professionally one day and make money if I lost the weight.

What were your fondest memories at Santa Clara on and off the court?

On the court it was participating in the Cable Car Classic which was a tournament with four teams and making the game winning basket. Off the court being on campus each day was great. I just enjoyed the sun and palm trees.

Who would win a one on one, you or ex Bremerhaven center Sean Denison?

Back then he would win the games. He would do three shots fakes and then be in good position to score each time. Now I think that I would win just due to my knowledge of the game.

You played a season in the D-league. What didnt you like about the D-League?

I didnt like the travel. There were so many games in a four month time period. We traveled in vans and flights had many connections. The games however were fun.

What is the most amazing thing that Robin Benzing could do on the court?

His ability to shoot over anyone. His turnaround shot was great and he could make 9 out of 10 shots. He is a big guy that can handle the ball and shoot it. I always knew when it would go in.

What were the most number of free throws that you have made in a row in practice?

56

What was your most crazy shot that you have ever made?

Last season I made a shot from center court at the end of a practice at Kuhberg.

You have stated that you could imagine staying in Ulm for a long time. Why do you like Ulm so much?

Ulm isnt a big city and not a village, but somewhere in between. The number #1 thing is that the people are very nice and it is a nice place to live at. It is just the little things that make living in a foreign country easy.

What was the last DVD movie that you saw?

A documentary Capitalism love story from Michael Moore.

Thanks John for the chat.

Bowman me lo ricordo a Novara (targata Igns e con Cimbero presidente se non erro)...spero vivamente sia diventato un giocatore diverso...loro lo avevano preso per sostituire Lloreda

Edited June 19, 2012 by joe

[Giobbo]

Anche io mi ricordo di Bowman e non è che ho ricordi esaltanti, anzi.

Ma provare a chiedere a Milano Juan Fernandez (che giocherebbe da italiano) in prestito?

Ranny - Rok

Ere - Tourè

Taylor - Ganeto

Sy - Talts

Pleiss - Borra

[Giobbo]

Azzo, ma allora il centro nominato gli scorsi giorni dai giornali non è l'ultimo dei pirla.

[Sir Joe]

Ranny - Rok

Ere - Tourè

Taylor - Ganeto

Sy - Talts

Pleiss - Borra

E magari! Saremmo quasi da scudetto!

[Silver Surfer]

Brandon Bowman fortemente cercato da Varese: eclettico 4/3, dotato di "vigore atletico, impatto fisico a rimbalzo, mano pungente dall'arco, e doti nell'1vs.1 frontale" (cit.).

Andy Rautins e Ranny non ancora cassati dall'acquisto di Ebi Ere: si continua a cercare un play d'ordine.

Si conferma valutazione x John Bryant, omone certo non velocissimo nè virtuosissimo nei movement tipici dei centri, ma dotato di grandissima intensità e garra, grande presenza interna con intimidazione data anche dall'ottimo timing per la stoppata e l'intervento interno.

da LA PREALPINA (giesse):

Varese non si ferma Ora punta a Bowman La Cimberio stringe i tempi per il secondo acquisto. La Pallacanestro Varese è decisa a bruciare i tempi in un mercato ancora in fase embrionale per molti club. L'oggetto del desidero di Varese nel ruolo di ala risponde al nome di Brandon Bowman, 29enne di grande impatto atletico in grado di giostrare sia da "numero 3" che da "4 tattico: in pratica il sostituto di Diawara nello scacchiere tattico varesino. D'altra parte nella lista delle priorità tecniche stabilita da Frank Vitucci il giocatore capace di aprire il campo con palleggio e tiro in grado di garantire freschezza atletica e vitalità alla manovra era appena dietro la "guardia fisicata" poi individuata in Ebi Ere. E il prodotto dell'università di Georgetown incarna perfettamente le "specifiche" di quel che sta cercando Varese: si tratta di un atleta di 204 centimetri per 100 chili, dotato di grande vigore atletico e impatto a rimbalzo e con mano pungente dall'arco ma anche doti nell'1 contro 1 frontale. L'atleta del 1984 nato a Beverly Hills in California ha al suo attivo una apparizione italiana al suo esordio in Europa (18,7 punti e 6,6 rimbalzi di media nel 2007/2008 in LegAdue a Novara), poi ha maturato esperienze significative in altri campionati di buon livello come Germania (14,3 punti e 5,5 rimbalzi con la finale della Bundesliga giocata a Bonn), Turchia (14,9 punti e 7,3 rimbalzi con il Tofas Bursa giocando l'Ali Star Game della Tbl), Serbia (10,8 punti con l'FMP Belgrado) ed Israele (lo scorso anno 14,5 punti e 7,9 rimbalzi col 54% da 2 e il 32% da 3 nelle file del Maccabi Rishon raggiungendo semifinali e finale di Coppa). Si tratterebbe di un altro giocatore tatticamente duttile da affiancare ad Ere per una Varese "camaleontica" tra un "quintettone" con Stipcevic in regia, il nigeriano da guardia e Bowman da ala piccola o un assetto "speedy" spostando Ere e l'atleta californiano da "3" e da "4". Poi le scelte successive toccheranno a Vitucci: sicuramente si vuole un playmaker d'ordine da affiancare al confermatissimo regista croato, con le quotazioni di Rannikko che potrebbero tornare a crescere se i riscontri clinici dessero conforto su modalità e tempi di recupero considerando il gradimento assoluto a livello umano per il giocatore finlandese e la stima sul piano tecnico che il coach veneziano nutre nei confronti del capitano della Cimberio 2011/2012. Il nuovo tecnico varesino dovrà decidere dove inserire le ultime due pedine straniere: ossia se affidarsi ad un "omone d'area" di grande impatto interno sui due lati del campo (offerto il bianco John Bryant, reduce da un'ottima stagione in Bundesliga ad Ulm) e completare la squadra con un altro esterno perimetrale (con l'eventuale conferma di Rannikko ci sarebbe spazio per Andy Rautins, tiratore di grandi fondamentali e poco atletismo). Oppure puntare su due "mezzi lunghi" con caratteristiche anche frontali entrando in una rotazione a tre per il ruolo di ala forte e pivot con l'altro confermato Janar Talts (foto Blitz). E gli italiani? Se ne parlerà alla fine, valutando la compatibilità tecnica di Ganeto e Reati con le caratteristiche dei 7 stranieri ed i relativi assetti tattici disponibili. G.S.
