TUCSON, Ariz. – On Wednesday night, Arizona senior
Jaden Bradley became the third Wildcat chosen in the 2026 NBA Draft when the Toronto Raptors called his name with the 50
th overall pick.
"As we saw during his entire career at Arizona,
Jaden Bradley is a winner first and foremost," said Arizona head coach
Tommy Lloyd. "He makes his teammates better and knows how to be a leader as the point guard. He's not afraid of the big moments and we know he's ready for this next step in the NBA with the Raptors."
Bradley is the 83
rd NBA Draft Pick in program history and the eighth draft pick in five years under Lloyd's guidance. The last Arizona player to be chosen by Toronto was Christian Koloko with the 33
rd pick in the 2022 draft.
The three picks in this year's draft – Burries, Peat, Bradley - marks the first time since 2022 that Arizona had three players taken in the same draft (Mathurin, Terry, Koloko).
