Four Arizona Wildcats received invites to the 2026 NBA Draft Combine. Guard Brayden Burries measures 6‑foot‑3.75, weighs 215.4 lb, has a 6‑foot‑6 wingspan and an 8‑foot‑2.5 in standing reach. Forward Koa Peat stands 6‑foot‑7, weighs 245 lb, possesses a 6‑foot‑11.25 in wingspan and an 8‑foot‑8 in standing reach.

Context

The combine invites indicate that NBA scouts see draft potential in the Wildcats’ roster. Arizona also sent older players Jaden Bradley and Tobe Awaka, who aim to secure second‑round looks or summer‑league contracts. Former Wildcats Kylan Boswell (now at Illinois) and Henri Veesaar (North Carolina) plus ex‑Sun Devil Jayden Quaintance (Kentucky) are also in the mix for evaluation. The event, held annually in Chicago, measures athletic traits that teams use alongside game film to project NBA readiness.

Key Facts

Burries’ height of 6‑foot‑3.75 places him slightly above the average NBA guard height, while his 215.4‑lb weight gives him a mass suited for defending larger opponents. His 6‑foot‑6 wingspan is 2.25 in longer than his height, adding reach on defense and rebounding. An 8‑foot‑2.5 in standing reach allows him to contest shots without leaving the ground. Peat’s 6‑foot‑7 height and 245‑lb weight give him a forward‑size build; his 6‑foot‑11.25‑in wingspan is 5.25 in longer than his height, aiding rim protection and finishing around the basket. His 8‑foot‑8 in standing reach is 4 in greater than the average forward reach recorded at recent combines.

What It Means

Burries’ measurements suggest he can guard more than one position and contest shots from taller wings. Peat’s size and reach indicate he could play as a forward who protects the rim and finishes near the basket if he adds outside shooting. Scouts will evaluate his shooting, agility and scrimmage performance to see how the physical tools translate to game impact. The next days of combine drills will show whether their draft stock moves up, stays flat or drops.
