Arizona signee Carter Bryant to play Tuesday in McDonald’s All-American Game

Carter Bryant, an Arizona Wildcats basketball signee from California, is set to suit up in the McDonald’s All-American Game for the West on Tuesday.

He and the rest of the 2024 class’s cream of the crop, including No. 1 player and Duke signee Cooper Flagg, will take the floor Tuesday at 6 p.m. MST at Toyota Center in Houston, home of the Rockets. ESPN will televise the game.

Two more Arizona signees from the class were nominated for the showcase but didn’t make the final roster: guard Jamari Phillips and big man Emmanuel Stephen, both from Dream City Christian in Glendale. Arizona’s class also recently added five-star wing Joson Sanon from Vermont after he committed and opted to reclassify from the 2025 high school class.

Bryant was already impressing after one day of practice for the McDonald’s game, using his size and versatility to his advantage. 247Sports’ Eric Bossi called it a “solid day of work” for the incoming forward.

He got to his spots and was on target with his pull-up jumper and he showed some aggressiveness on both ends of the floor. He made a couple of tough contests on drivers at the rim, ran the floor hard in transition and looks to be in great condition.

Bryant is a smart player who knows how his game fits in with others and knows he’ll fit in well in Tucson.

“I just enjoy the way (the Wildcats) play basketball, they’re unselfish and we like to get out and run,” Bryant told Arizona Sports in December. “It just screams my kind of play style. And the coaching staff with coach (Tommy) Lloyd are just great people, great human beings.”

“I definitely am (excited to be a part of Arizona’s first Big 12 season). I’m kinda sad because I grew up on Pac-10, Pac-12 basketball, but I can’t wait. I feel like it’s gonna be definitely better competition in the conference, and I can’t wait,” Bryant added.

The girls McDonald’s All-American Game will precede the boys game on ESPN. Here’s a look at the full rosters and schedule.
