oof Bummer to leave ball handlers on the board, but I can't get too mad about #41. Brea is a great shooter and can take Jalen Bridges' spot.

Gotta get some shot creation in free agency.
Hmm. I wonder if they already have a PG (or two) targeted in free agency. They must really like this guy. Shot 50% (last year?) from 3 in college they said which is pretty crazy.
In 2023-24. 43% last year.

Brea's one of the top shooters in the draft. I thought they'd go with him or Proctor but if they're moving Royce and/or Allen, Brea makes a ton of sense to replace them.

Again, we're talking about second rounders. I don't think any second round selection should be viewed as addressing a need or a replacement for an established player.

Brea is supposedly the best shooter in the draft and moves well without the ball, but doesn't do a lot else. He's got good size, but he's not a great athlete, and doesn't really create his own shot and will have to improve his defense.

He's likely going to be a two-way contract with hope that develops into a contributor eventually.

I remember the last we drafted a guy out of Kentucky that was considered the best shooter in the draft...

So do we count Fleming as part of the KD deal…or is that we got Williams for 1 1st and multiple 2nds as we surely would’ve taken Fleming at 29 had we still had the pick.

I think that's just him going half-speed in a workout.

Koby Brea was asked by Kentucky Wildcats On SI which former Wildcat he tries to match his game after, and without hesitation, the sharpshooter said Devin Booker.

Wow! That guy is smooth. Great at the shot fake, fly by and he even did the Curry look away. Most makes are swishes. Very impressive.
