Warriors Stun NBA with Bold Move, Snag Elite Sharpshooter Koby Brea from Kentucky in Shocking Draft Pick
In a surprising move, the Golden State Warriors have added another lethal shooter to their roster, bringing in Koby Brea, a sharpshooting guard from Kentucky, with the No. 41 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft. The selection stunned many, as Brea was considered one of the top shooters in all of college basketball this past season, and the Warriors now have a potential weapon to complement the scoring brilliance of Steph Curry.
At 22 years old, Brea was a key contributor to Mark Pope’s dynamic offense in Lexington, where he quickly became one of the most feared shooters in the country. He finished the season with an impressive 43.5% shooting clip from beyond the arc, converting 93 three-pointers in total. His 93 triples ranked fourth in the competitive Southeastern Conference, a testament to his consistency and ability to create offense from deep.
The addition of Brea adds another dimension to the Warriors’ already potent offensive system. His ability to stretch the floor, create shooting space, and keep defenses honest alongside Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green could make Golden State even more formidable. As a second-round pick, Brea brings excellent value, and his ability to shoot off the catch and move without the ball makes him an ideal fit for the Warriors’ fast-paced, perimeter-oriented attack. Fans can expect the 22-year-old to quickly carve out a role as a reliable floor spacer in one of the NBA’s most exciting lineups.
