"Cusworth went up against Patrick O’Bryant and scored on him again and again, utilizing nifty footwork on his pivot moves around the basket, switching and finishing with either hand, throwing in reverse lay-ups, showing a nice little step-through, and being extremely active finishing through contact. He hit the glass pretty hard, and even got in the passing lanes to remove any real doubt regarding his agility. "

Patrick O’Bryant, 7-0, Center, Golden State Warriors (NBA)
O’Bryant made an appearance in the five on five pickup games in Vegas, and looked fairly rusty as you might imagine after not having played many minutes at all this season outside the D-League. His body looks similar to how it did last time we saw him in person about a year ago (also in a private workout), but he seemed to be showing more of a face-up jumper than we recall him having, even shooting a 3-pointer at one point, which he missed. O’Bryant also looked to utilize a Kareem-esqe skyhook that didn’t quite fall for him, and wasn’t quite the presence defensively that you might hope considering his height and wingspan. More than anything, it seems like the year he spent riding the pine (outside his time in the D-League) has affected his confidence, something that isn’t that much of a surprise all things considered. It’s pretty clear that Don Nelson’s style of play doesn’t suit him (or any other 7-footer not named Dirk for that matter) very well, so it’s quite possible that some NBA team looking for an athletic big man with freakishly long arms and great upside could be able to make something happen if they really wanted to. It’s obviously way too early to give up on him."
