The Suns picked Kentucky s top five big pitcher, but is he really capable of gaining a foothold in the NBA?

In this year's NBA Draft, the Phoenix Suns and the Golden State Warriors completed a deal. The Suns gave the 52nd draw in the second round and the 59th draw in the second round, and got the 41st draw in the second round from the Warriors. The Suns then used this draft pick to choose Koby Brea, a big five wing player who had previously played for Kentucky.

Bria was born in November 2002 and is a 22-year-old wing player with excellent shooting skills. According to data from the previous joint trial physical test, Bria's bare feet are 197.5cm in height, 196.2cm in wingspan, 257.9cm in height, and 91.5kg in weight. In the NCAA field this season, Bria transferred from the University of Dayton to join the University of Kentucky. He made a total of 36 appearances for the University of Kentucky this season, including 16 of which were the starters, with averaging 28.1 minutes per game, with averaging 11.6 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.5 steals and 0.3 blocks, and 0.5 turnovers and 1.3 fouls. He shot 47% from the field, 43.5% from three-point shooting percentage and 91.4% from free throws.

From the perspective of characteristics, Bria is a wing player with excellent shooting ability, and he also has good shooting ability. His three-point shooting percentage in the entire NCAA arena is as high as 43.4%, and he can definitely be regarded as a top pitcher in the NCAA field. We also have reason to infer that Bria has a chance to be a reliable NBA-level pitcher. But the problem is that besides shooting, Bria's ability in other aspects is quite lacking. His physical condition is not ideal, his wingspan is even worse than his height, and his standing height is also a bit less than ideal among the wing players. The most important thing is that Bria is not a reliable defender. His personal defense ability is very average. He also has shortcomings in moving speed. He may encounter great trouble on the defensive end. He is obviously a player with strong offense and weak defense.

From the perspective of the Suns, their purpose of choosing Bria is actually very clear. They should use him to replace the team's substitute backcourt player Grayson Allen. However, the problem is that after all, Bria is just a second round pick, and he also has obvious shortcomings and shortcomings. What's more, his previous draft market was actually even lower than his actual pick. The Suns' ideal is relatively beautiful, but what is the actual situation, or whether Bria can be a qualified NBA rotation player, whether he can maintain such offensive efficiency and three-point shooting percentage on the offensive end, and whether he can ensure that he will not be beaten on the defensive end are all a huge question mark.
