LAS VEGAS, Nev. -- Former Bradley center Patrick O'Bryant, who was selected with the ninth overall pick in last week's NBA Draft, will make his professional debut for the Golden State Warriors Friday at the Toshiba Vegas Summer League.

 

The Warriors will play five games in seven days at the Vegas Summer League at UNLV's Cox Pavilion, beginning with Friday night's 8 o'clock (CST) contest against the Portland Trail Blazers.  The four remaining games will be played Saturday (6 p.m.) versus the Los Angeles Clippers, Monday (2 p.m.) against the Cleveland Cavaliers, Tuesday (4 p.m.) versus the Denver Nuggets and Wednesday (9 p.m.) against the Toronto Raptors.

 

Golden State's final three games in Las Vegas will be televised on a delay basis by NBA TV.  The Cleveland game will air July 13 at 6 p.m. (CST) and again July 14 at 11 p.m.  The Denver game will air July 15 at 10 p.m. and again July 16 at 3 p.m. and the Toronto game will air three times, July 21 at 4 p.m. and July 22 at 1 a.m. and 11 a.m.

 

Among the players O'Bryant will face in the Vegas Summer League are former Peoria High School star Shaun Livingston (Clippers), one-time college opponent at Pepperdine Yakhouba Diawara (Nuggets) and former Texas center LaMarcus Aldridge (Blazers), who was selected with the second overall pick last week.

 

O'Bryant was the 2006 Missouri Valley Conference Defensive Player of the Year as a sophomore and helped Bradley (22-11) to the third round of the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 1955.  He averaged 13.4 points, 8.3 rebounds and 2.9 blocked shots per game last season before becoming the school's sixth first-round NBA Draft pick.
