Draft Decisions: Peat, Momcilovic, Tanner, Fears, More
Hoops Rumors • • sports
Key Points:
- Koa Peat has decided to leave Arizona and remain in the NBA draft, focusing on starting his professional career despite initially keeping college options open.
- Peat had a strong freshman season and NCAA tournament performance but struggled at the NBA draft combine, shooting poorly in key drills with a noticeably altered shooting form.
- He is working to improve his shooting consistency and is projected as a late first-round pick, with potential to play as a small-ball center at 6’7″.
- Unlike Peat, most prospects who made decisions by the withdrawal deadline chose to return to college, including notable players like Amari Allen, Andrej Stojakovic, and Billy Richmond.
