Brayden Burries, Caleb Wilson, and Koa Peat Make Their Feelings Clear on Possible Picks in the NBA Draft
Caleb WIlson, Koa Peat and Brayden Burries. © Imagn Arizona Wildcats standouts Brayden Burries and Koa Peat, along with North Carolina Tar Heels guard Caleb Wilson, all share the same sentiment when they are looking at what NBA team to play for. All three players are said to be chosen in this year’s NBA Draft after they had stellar college basketball tenures.
Despite all of them just playing one year in their respective programs, they have elevated their draft stock tremendously. In an interview with renowned sports agent Rich Paul on the Game Over podcast, Burries, Peat, and Wilson were all asked what matters to them more for the team that selects them: the fit or the pick. For all three, fit was the shared answer they had, but for varying reasons.
Burries and Wilson prefer a team that allows them to be the best version of themselves, while Peat would opt for a situation where he can help the team’s best player. “ For me, it’s the fit. It don’t matter where I go.
As long as, like, the coach trusts me, let me go out there and just try to just be me and play hard,” Burries said with Wilson agreeing, sharing, “For me, it’s all fit. I mean, shoot, I’ll go 50 if the team fit me, man. That’s really all I care about.
” (0:06) Peat had the same answer as his counterparts, but explained more in detail, saying, “Yeah, I think it’s fit, for sure, and knowing your role. Like, you getting picked by these teams, you know, they probably already have their best player. So I’m trying to go into it and make the best player better, and always also have the coach like you.
