Got spend some time in the gym with Kentucky’s Koby Brea this weekend.
The 6’7” wing is arguably the best shooter in the 2025 NBA Draft, knocking down 43.5% of his career 730 attempts. Brea’s logo range and off ball gravity will allow him to slide in to any lineup construction at the next level.
Film Sesh with Koby coming soon 🎞️

Labaron Philon is 6 '3 and not an elite vertical athlete...
So how is he able to finish at an impressive 65.7% at the rim on 5 attempts a game?... ⤵️
It breaks down into 4 main skill sets...
Pacing + Ball Handling:
Philon has excellent fluidity, which he pairs with elite start/stop movements, culminating in a herky-jerky pacing that is very difficult for defenders to stay in front of and allows Philon to dictate defenders’ timing.
While he lacks the elite verticality and athleticism that some of his peers possess, his ability to abruptly shift speeds and directions is an elite athletic trait in its own right, and he has enough explosiveness to take advantage of gaps in defensive spacing.
His ability to quickly accelerate, while changing directions, has been critical in allowing Philon to create separation as he gets downhill, but it’s his de-acceleration around the rim that helps create such efficient scoring opportunities, where he is able to mitigate the size and length of defenders by forcing them to mis-time their contest, essentially neutralizing the length Philon faces at the rim.
His handle can only be categorized as “deceptive” and might be the best in the class. When combined with his poise, it allows him to trap defenders on his backside and snake through all areas of the floor.
Stride Lengths + Take-Off Footwork:
Because he is not an above-the-rim finisher, Philon’s skillset is reliant on disrupting defenders’ timing, a large part of which is related to his stride lengths and takeoff footwork on his layups. Despite his lack of positional size, Philon is capable of picking up his dribble from nearly any distance, three-point line, paint, etc, when he pairs that with his array of early take-offs and off-foot/off-hand finishes, Philon is able to remain a dynamic downhill threat, even without a live dribble.
Playing Off of Two Feet:
Once Philon breaches the paint, he is committed to playing off of two feet, which opens up a bevy of scoring opportunities, as defenders are at the mercy of his pumpfakes. From a standstill, Philon has great flexibility and step-through game, allowing him to slide around defenders and create advantages after he’s already generated a paint touch.
Initiating Physicality:
Finally, while he weighed in at 176.2 lbs at the NBA combine earlier this month, Philon plays above his weight, especially around the rim. He is dedicated to initiating physicality and doing so early in his drives downhill. Once around the rim, he is exceedingly comfortable banging with bigger guards and forwards to create space, and doesn’t shy away from contact.

Point guard, wing, gold jacket, green jacket…doesnt matter which positional label is put on him, Stephon Castle is the goods. Can play with the ball in his hands or without it, doesnt matter, hes a winning player. Strong, physical, smooth, high feel 6’6.5” dawg? I’ll bet on that
Sometimes in life you need to be adaptable. OKC is set up to be adaptable. You build a treasure trove of assets to give yourself options. I know they prefer to build organically and it’s not panic time…but sometimes your universe gets invaded by aliens and you gotta find a Hulk
