2025 NBA Draft Scouting Report for Phoenix Suns' No. 41 Pick Koby Brea

The Phoenix Suns have drafted Koby Brea with the No. 41 pick in the 2025 NBA draft.

Brea spent four years at Dayton before transferring to Kentucky, where he continued to prove himself as one of the most elite shooters in the country.

Across his five-year career, the 22-year-old shot 43.4 percent from deep, and he led the nation in three-point percentage in 2023–24 at a 49.8 percent clip on 6.1 attempts per game.

He followed that up at Kentucky by hitting 43.5 percent on 5.9 attempts per game. That mark ranked ninth nationally.

The 6'6" guard doesn’t create much off the dribble or offer standout defense, but his spacing, quick release and off-ball movement give him real NBA utility. If his defense holds up, his jumper alone could help him carve out a long-term role as a spark-plug shooter off the bench.

He earned Atlantic 10 Sixth Man of the Year honors in both 2022 and 2024.

Brea ranks No. 44 on B/R NBA draft expert Jonathan Wasserman's 2025 Prospect Big Board.

By the numbers, Brea could be deemed the most accurate shooter in the draft.

He won't offer anything else, but he'll have a chance to carve out a specialist role like current Miami Heat and former University of Michigan swingman Duncan Robinson's.

Neither projects as an All-Star, but they each possess the game's most important, most translatable skill, making them plug-and-play options with potential for more volume and more responsibility.

Strengths

• Shooting Accuracy
• Shooting Versatility
• Efficiency

In the modern NBA, shooting is the most valuable specialty, and Brea may have mastered it.

He fired up 730 long-range looks across his five-year college career and connected on an absurd 43.4 percent of them.

Weaknesses

• Athleticism
• Creation/Playmaking
• Versatility

Brea is quite limited when it comes to creating his own shot, as well as creating for others.

He doesn't project to be anything more than a specialist, which can still lead to a successful career. His perimeter shot is sweet, but it's the bulk of what he offers. And without a tangible increase in his on-ball skills, it may end up being all he offers.
