Koby Brea has taken his game to a new level this season. Having spent four seasons at Dayton prior to joining the Kentucky Wildcats under the leadership of Mark Pope, Brea was a two-time A-10 Sixth Man of the Year.

He consistently impressed, but going from the Sixth Man of the Year in the A-10 to a key piece of a potentially championship-contending Kentucky team is not a small feat. Brea’s game, especially as a passer and defender, have improved drastically.

He has continued what he’s known for, too — his red-hot shooting.

Brea is averaging 10.8 points per game and shooting 45.3% from deep. To go along with that, he’s notching 3.1 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game. Pope has also praised his defense multiple times this season.

Despite that, Brea, who is 22 years old, hasn’t been ranked as a top draft prospect.

Well, his recent performances might be changing that script. In an updated mock draft by ESPN’s Jeremy Woo and Jonathan Givony, Brea came in at No. 58, being taken by the Cleveland Cavaliers.

That is leaps and bounds improvement for the veteran Kentucky guard, and if he keeps it up, he could see that stock rise even further. After all, you have to score points to win the game, and Brea knows just how to do that.

Having notched a career-high in assists against South Carolina, Brea is starting to round out his game, and Pope’s offensive system has been key in allowing the former Dayton standout to shine.
