Koby Brea Drafted, Extends Kentucky NBA Streak

Koby Brea, regarded as one of college basketball's top shooters, was selected 41st overall in the 2025 NBA Draft by the Golden State Warriors and will be traded to the Phoenix Suns. Brea played four years at Dayton before transferring to Kentucky, where he averaged 11.6 points per game and led the team with a 43.5% 3-point shooting percentage in his lone season. He becomes the first Kentucky player drafted under new head coach Mark Pope, helping the program extend its streak to 18 consecutive years with at least one NBA Draft selection. Analysts note Brea's elite shooting and potential immediate impact, though some question his defensive skills and overall versatility. Brea joins fellow Kentucky alumnus Devin Booker on the Suns, fulfilling his dream of playing alongside his favorite player. There is no mention of Amari Williams being selected in this updated account.
