He’s tries to dunk on Chris Silva in practice. Meet the USC freshman raising eyebrows

Chris Silva, the undisputed best dunker on South Carolina’s basketball team, has had competition this preseason.

Keyshawn Bryant stands 6-foot-6, weighs 190 pounds and has no fear in challenging the reigning SEC defensive player of the year.

“He always tries to posterize me for some reason,” Silva said Wednesday during SEC media day. “Any time we’re at practice, we’re always talking about who’s gonna catch who first. And at least twice in practice somebody tries to dunk on somebody else.”

USC’s 2018 recruiting class was headlined by A.J. Lawson, a four-star prospect from Canada, and Jermaine Couisnard, a guard from East Chicago who drew interest from the likes of Kansas, Ohio State and West Virginia.
