Welcome to the Age of Ayton
He's a lethal 3pt shooter. If you can get that kind of specialist at 41... I like it.

This guy is basically just a shooter.

Sounded like he was officially announcing the earlier trade to Phoenix.

Correct. That was just announcing the suns trading FOR the pick that was flemming.
Never mind. They were just announcing the Timberwolves trade to the Suns. Whew!!! That was weird, the have not done wthat with the other trades in this round so far.

Brea pick almost sounds like we made this pick for someone else. I wouldn't be surprised if he isn't on our roster.
off the books is where he'd be going - i hope we start trading for picks again cuz ish emptied the clip
He's a 2nd round pick that is a good candidate for a Two-Way deal. Dont mind the selection.
Scouting Report:
Passing: In no way is he a primary creator, but he has an intelligent floor game. He keeps the ball moving and can make some confident bounce passes through traffic, so there’s some flare to him, too.
Size: At 6-foot-7, if he keeps getting stronger and maximizes his athleticism, he could become a non-target on the defensive end.
Defense: He lacks quickness moving laterally, doesn’t generate many steals and blocks, and has quite a lean frame despite his age.
Koby Brea, G, Kentucky
Strengths
Shooting: Lethal shooter who made 43.4% of his 3s on a high volume of 4.9 per game over five college seasons. He has NBA range with a quick release, plus the footwork to shoot off movement actions.Passing: In no way is he a primary creator, but he has an intelligent floor game. He keeps the ball moving and can make some confident bounce passes through traffic, so there’s some flare to him, too.
Size: At 6-foot-7, if he keeps getting stronger and maximizes his athleticism, he could become a non-target on the defensive end.
Concerns
Athleticism: Unless he has a lot of space, he’s a below-the-rim player. He made only 43.8% of his layups in the half court, per Synergy. He also lacks a quick first step or burst off the dribble, which limits him when attacking closeouts to only basic pull-ups.Defense: He lacks quickness moving laterally, doesn’t generate many steals and blocks, and has quite a lean frame despite his age.

I'd guess he would be staying and the Suns would move on from Grayson and his contract to free up money.

Brea has a serious 3 point game. Quick release, he's got the step backs, looks good coming off screens.
Liking what I am seeing.

Yup. This kid is purely a taller shooter. There’s a place for those guys in the league.
I thought He runs the floor like Stoudemire. Going to be cheering for him

I can't remember who said it, but he's got an NBA level skill already in shooting, which will always be needed. Hopefully he can shore up enough of the rest of his game where he's not just a one-dimensional player.

I was expecting PG at this range. Maybe we just went Best Available?
We went into this draft with two crappy picks. Now after the moves we made and the draft we potentially have 3 rotation players. This draft was a shocker.

I can't help but wonder if the Suns had anyone else in mind when they moved up to draft Koby Brea.
I was like that's Allen's spot
Gambo said Proctor was on their board. So it looks like it was between Brea and Proctor. So, I have to wonder what they liked about Brea over Proctor. My guess is the 3 point shooting. Proctor was said not to be great at any one thing and more of a utility guy.

Probably wanted a great 3 point shooter to replace Grayson. Really that is about all Grayson is, Brea will be much cheaper.
