Arizona's Koa Peat: Declares for NBA Draft

Peat has declared for the 2026 NBA Draft, according to Jeff Borzello of ESPN.

Analysis:

The 2026 NBA Draft class has added another talented freshman, this time in the form of Arizona's top recruit this past season. As the 2025-26 Wildcats went on one of their best runs in program history, he averaged 14.1 points, 5.6 rebounds and 2.6 assists across his 36 starts, quality enough for All-Big 12 Third Teamhonors. While defense and free-throw efficiency still look like areas needing improvement, Peat's two-point scoring and rebounding back up why he will be a first-round selection in the 2026 NBA Draft.
