The Detroit Pistons may only get one chance to add a player out of the 2025 NBA Draft, currently in possession of just the 37th overall pick.
The Pistons [aren’t looking to shock the league with big moves this offseason](https://www.mlive.com/pistons/2025/06/pistons-wont-push-all-our-chips-in-during-nba-offseason-says-team-president.html), so signs point to them making a selection at the spot to help improve the overall depth of the roster.

While Brea’s ranking fluctuates depending on the scout or analyst, there’s one thing they agree on: Brea can really shoot the ball.
A native of The Bronx, New York, Brea began his college career at Dayton where he played a limited role as a freshman. The following year, he was named Atlantic 10 Sixth Man of the Year and began carving out the role he continues to thrive in.
His fourth year with the Flyers, Brea led the country in three-point percentage (49.8%) by three full points, playing in 33 games, while only starting four and averaging 11.1 points off the bench.
Brea transferred to Kentucky for his final season of eligibility and played a bit of a different role, starting in 16 games out of 36 appearances, but he still averaged 11.6 points per games, while connecting on 43.5% of his threes which ranked ninth in the nation.
His college career was also filled with injuries as he fractured both his wrists ahead of his freshman season and had rods put in both his legs to address stress fractures in both tibias in 2023. Still, they’ve never prevented him from being an elite shot taker.
Brea’s well-sized for an NBA wing at 6-foot-5, with a 200-pound frame, moves well off the ball and brings some of the strongest shot mechanics of anyone in the draft field.
A negative wingspan could hamper what Brea can bring on the defensive end, but at Kentucky he was never a weak spot thanks to a good awareness of his positioning. He’ll need to work on being more disruptive to have a shot as a true 3-and-D wing in the NBA.
His paint scoring also leaves quite a lot to be desired, hitting just 55% on shots at the rim in a half-court setting and 43.8 percent of his layups. But if he gets space on the outside, he’s arguably the most lethal shooter in the draft class.
For the Pistons, a sharp shooter could do some real good off the bench. Detroit ranked 17th in three-point percentage last season.
And their top three-point shooter, Malik Beasley, is set to be a free agent and there’s no guarantee he’s back with the Pistons after a stellar year that possibly demands a bigger contract than the organization will want to extend.
Brea certainly has some growing to do, but the 22-year-old’s top quality — an elite shot — already looks NBA ready.
