Jim Ned’s Dylan Bryant is big, physical and doesn’t mind a little contact in the paint.

In fact, the 6-foot-4 senior power forward seeks it out as often as not.

That physicality and fearlessness give the Indians a toughness inside that can be difficult for their opponents to deal with. Add in a complete post game, with skill to match the brute strength and effort, and it’s not hard to see why coach Eric Phelps is such a fan of Bryant and all he brings to the court.
