Brayden Burries, formerly of the Arizona Wildcats, has officially entered the NBA after being drafted 10th overall by the Milwaukee Bucks in the 2026 NBA Draft. This selection represents the highest draft position for an Arizona player since Benedict Mathurin was chosen sixth in 2022. Burries' journey to the league is marked by a remarkable freshman season.
He was a crucial player for the Wildcats, starting all 39 games and averaging 16.1 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 1.5 steals.

Burries earned first-team All-Big 12 honors and was a finalist for the Jerry West Award.
