CBS SportsKoa Peat was selected by the Phoenix Suns with the 30th overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft on Tuesday night, CBS Sports reported. Peat played one season as a freshman at the University of Arizona, where he averaged 14.1 points and 5.6 rebounds per game. The Wildcats advanced to the Final Four for the first time since 2001 during his tenure.
His rookie contract carries a base salary of $3 million for the first NBA season. At the NBA combine, Peat said his primary focus before the season is improving his jump shot and that he is working with Chris Johnson on his shooting form. "Just trying to shoot the ball the same way every time," Peat said.
CBS Sports analysts noted that Peat's draft position lowered his initial earnings compared with the roughly $5 million he could have received by returning to Arizona for another season.
