Bryce Harris represented

with class in his viral post-game presser.
But press conferences aren’t the only places where Bryce expresses himself brilliantly.
Bryce produces his own music, creating over 300 musical beats in his dorm studio.
"Playing on a basketball team is one of the more beautiful things in life because it gives you a group of brothers who have a common goal. It allows you to have a deeper connection past just being a teammate."
