Johnny O’Bryant

Johnny O’Bryant garnered somewhat of a fan-favorite reputation during his tenure with the Bucks, although this perhaps came less from on-floor production than a collective desire to make something out of a fairly disappointing player.

O’Bryant was waived alongside Inglis, and much like his fellow former second-round pick, he caught on briefly with another franchise before being released and sent to the D-League.

JOB was first signed by the Wizards, and looked to have a decent shot at making the regular season roster, but was ultimately cut just before the season.

The power forward was then signed by one of the D-League’s new franchises, the Northern Arizona (NAZ) Suns. Through two games, O’Bryant is averaging 10 points and 7.5 rebounds per game; decent numbers that should improve as he gets more familiar with his new teammates.

It certainly isn’t an ideal situation to be in, but JOB is in a position to find his way back onto an NBA roster soon.
