Koa Peat Lands in Phoenix After Draft-Day Trade With Dallas
The Dallas Mavericks selected Arizona forward Koa Peat with the No. 30 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft and sent his rights to the Phoenix Suns. The 19-year-old will remain in Arizona after a successful freshman season in which he helped the Wildcats win a Big 12 title and reach the Final Four. Peat started all 36 games while averaging 14.1 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 2.6 assists across 27.8 minutes per appearance. A multi-faceted forward with strong playmaking skills, Peat could compete for reserve frontcourt minutes behind veteran Kevin Durant as a rookie.
