When Koby Brea’s name wasn’t called on NBA Draft night, more than a few analysts shrugged. Some laughed. Others dismissed him as just another college shooter who wouldn’t make it at the next level.
But Koby Brea heard every word — and he’s using it as fuel.
Just days removed from going undrafted, Brea is already turning heads with his relentless work ethic and jaw-dropping workouts. Videos of the former Dayton standout draining deep threes, gliding past defenders, and showing elite shot mechanics have quietly gone viral across basketball Twitter and Instagram.
One scout anonymously told an NBA insider:
> “We might’ve missed on this kid. His footwork, his confidence, the way the ball pops out of his hands — it’s all pro-level.”
Brea, who shot an eye-popping 44.7% from three last season, has always let his game speak for itself. But now, with a chip the size of an arena on his shoulder, he’s louder than ever — and finally being heard.
He’s reportedly received multiple Summer League invites and is already in talks with teams about Exhibit 10 contracts. In a league always hungry for sharpshooting wings who can space the floor, Brea’s blend of IQ, range, and calm under pressure is becoming impossible to ignore.
After all, the NBA is full of stories like his — undrafted players who rise from the shadows and carve out long, impactful careers.
The laughter has stopped.
Now, analysts are watching.
