If you want to succeed in Joe Mazzulla’s system, then you must be able to knock down your perimeter shots with a high level of consistency. Therefore, it’s fair to assume that Brad Stevens will be looking for talented shooters in the upcoming NBA Draft, where the Boston Celtics hold the 28th and 32nd picks.
In a recent episode of the “How ‘Bout Them Celtics?” podcast, hosts Jack Simone and Sam LaFrance explore Koby Brea as a potential prospect. Brea fits perfectly with how the Celtics like to play. His shooting would instantly secure him a spot on the Celtics bench; however, he would still need to prove himself on the defensive end.
Brea, 22, is a five-year collegiate product. He spent four seasons with Dayton in the A-10 before transferring to the SEC this past season, where he suited up for Kentucky. Despite the step up in competition, Brea continued to establish himself as an elite shooter. In 36 games, he averaged 11.6 points on 43.5% shooting from 3-point range, taking 5.9 attempts per outing. He leaves his collegiate career behind hi,m having shot 43.4% from deep in 149 total games.
