Brea might be the best shooter in college basketball. The Atlantic-10 Sixth Man of the Year shot 49.8 percent from deep this season and shoots 43.4 percent for his career. He has from-the-logo range and is elite both off the catch and the dribble. He kills drop coverage. Give him any space and he’s burying it. He scored 1.277 points per possession as the handler in the pick-and-roll, per Synergy. It’s almost shocking when he misses. He shot 53.8 percent on catch-and-shoot jumpers, per Synergy, and that number jumps to 59.2 percent on catch-and-shoots when he’s open.

There should be a ton of interest in Brea because everyone wants shooting. He came off the bench for the Flyers but basically played a starter’s role, averaging 11.1 points in 29.1 minutes per game. He proved in the NCAA Tournament he can knock down shots on a big stage, burying five 3s in a first-round win over Nevada and then scoring 14 points and making four 3s in the second-round loss to Arizona. The one concern with Brea, especially if he transfers to a higher level, is he could be a guy teams hunt on the defensive end. He isn’t a great on-ball defender. He has good positional size but has a tendency to give up blow-by straight-line drives. Still, his shooting is valuable enough that just about anyone will take him because he changes the geometry of the floor. — C.J. Moore
