Las Vegas – Bradley Beal is on outings, but the Phoenix Suns may have already found an ideal replacement to develop in Koby Brea. Brea is not the same type of player as Beal, and it is obviously not close to the same level, but that Phoenix seeks to rebuild itself around Booker, they should want to add guys like Brea instead of guys like Beal.
In her first two summer championship games, Brea had no trouble showing her three -point shot. He followed a performance of 4 out of 5 to three points in his first match with a projection of 4 out of 6 against the Atlanta Hawks on Sunday afternoon, none of which was three points. Above all, the comfort of Brea by looking for its own ball shots stood out.
And while the Suns seek to reorganize their list around Booker in the future, that’s exactly what they need.
How can Koby Brea help the Suns?
The Suns selected Brea with the choice n ° 41 at the NBA 2025 draft, and he has since signed a bidirectional agreement with the team. Given the nature of his contract, the probability that he will break a role of rotation in the immediate future seems weak.
That said, with the way he played in the first two games of the Suma Summer League, he could fight to improve his contract as soon as possible.
The out -of -the -ball movement would have been a welcome inclusion in the Suns of last year, when they had trouble generating a coherent offense around Booker, Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal.
The Big 3 of Phoenix of the last two years have been redundant. The three players are incredibly talented in its own right, but deploy three ISO scorers in the same range eliminates the ability to include other necessary skills sets.
The addition of three points of brea shot in the mixture, and its ability to create space outside the ball, is precisely what the Suns should look for.
What do suns need?
This summer was the chance of the Suns to completely reorganize their list. They signed Booker to a new extension of a massive contract – the most important in the history of the League in terms of average annual value – and will now try to restructure around him.
Jalen Green will give them a nice punch (and an intriguing young prospect), the defense of Dillon Brooks will be crucial, and Mark Williams, Khaman Maluach and Nick Richards should maintain the central position.
This simply leaves the need to shoot at three points, the exact Brea competence does better than almost anyone else.
Finding a player who pulls the ball as well as Brea is a rarity. 43.4% of the distance on five university seasons, including 43.5% out of 5.9 attempts in its last season with Kentucky.
If his defense can resist, he should be a perfect fit next to Booker in Phoenix. And even if he is far from the player that Beal is still, he is much better suited to what the Suns should want to do.
