Koby Brea Position: Wing Height: 6'5.75" Weight: 201.8 lbs Wingspan: 6'5.25" Age: 22

Offense Koby Brea is the best shooter in the 2025 draft class: full stop. Over five seasons, he’s established himself as an efficient high-volume marksman from deep. In his final year, Brea hit 43.5% from three on a diet of movement shots, off-the-dribble jumpers, and quick-trigger spot-ups. This wasn’t an outlier season, it was the capstone on a career that saw him shoot nearly 45% from three since his sophomore year. He combines elite footwork with pristine mechanics, a lightning-quick release, and a willingness to fire over contests, including off screens, relocations, and handoffs. The versatility of his jumper is what elevates Brea beyond typical catch-and-shoot specialists. He hit nearly half of his threes off the dribble and excelled running off ball screens, able to maintain balance and rhythm on the move. Whether pulling up in transition, sliding into space on a relocation, or curling around screens, Brea constantly forces defenses to chase. His off-ball movement is purposeful and intelligent, weaponizing his gravity in ways that create space for others. Brea also operates well within team concepts. While not a creator, he’s a sharp connective passer who doesn’t stall the offense. He makes timely reads, keeps the ball moving, and rarely turns it over. His handle is functional enough to attack a closeout for a one- or two-dribble pull-up or make a read on the move, and he’s adept at slipping bounce passes or hitting kickouts when defenders collapse. Though he’s unlikely to ever be tasked with offensive initiation, his floor awareness ensures he’s not just a one-dimensional shooter. Still, Brea’s offensive limitations are real. He adds almost nothing at the rim. He rarely gets downhill, and when he does, his lack of burst and vertical pop makes finishing a challenge where he converted under 45% of his halfcourt layups and had just one dunk all year. He doesn’t draw fouls or pressure the paint, and his shot diet is heavily three-point dependent. That narrows his offensive ceiling, but if his shooting translates, as it should, he can add value without needing touches. Defense Brea’s defensive outlook is the central question for his NBA viability. At just under 6'6" with a negative wingspan and limited footspeed, he’s likely to be a target at the next level unless improvements are made. He struggles staying in front of quick guards, often ceding space to compensate for his lack of lateral quickness, and doesn’t have the strength or length to bother larger wings. His lack of flexibility and short-area burst also hurt his ability to recover or disrupt actions. Off-ball, Brea isn’t a liability, but he’s not an event creator. He offers little in terms of weakside rim contests or passing lane disruption, and his steal and block rates have hovered around 1% for his career, among the lowest for wing prospects. While he’s not error-prone or unaware, his ground coverage and reactivity limit his range as a team defender. He does, however, compete. Brea doesn’t shy away from contact and plays with consistent effort. In time, with improved strength and continued reps, he may reach a serviceable threshold as a team defender. Like Sam Hauser or Duncan Robinson, Brea’s defensive survival may come down to being in the right system with well-defined responsibilities and strong infrastructure around him. Looking Ahead Koby Brea has an elite skill that nearly every NBA team values, and in today’s game, shooting gravity matters more than ever. His combination of volume, accuracy, and versatility from three-point range gives him a real shot to stick as a rotation wing. He won’t create off the bounce, finish inside, or lock down star scorers. But for teams looking to bolster floor spacing with low-maintenance players who know how to move, shoot, and pass, Brea checks those boxes. His margin for error will be thin. He’ll need to prove he can survive defensively and contribute enough off the ball to avoid being schemed off the floor. But players like Sam Merrill, Luke Kennard, and Isaiah Joe have carved out careers with similar profiles, elite shooting, smart decision-making, and just enough defense. Brea may never be more than an eighth or ninth man, but in a league increasingly defined by spacing and shooting volume, his singular skill gives him a real chance to stick.
