NBA DRAFT

June 23, 2026

Brayden Burries

Q. It's a new chapter now in Milwaukee, with Giannis Antetokounmpo getting traded. How about that pressure and trying to bring that franchise some success in this new era?

BRAYDEN BURRIES: I wouldn't say it's no pressure. I'd say I'm just going to go there and be me and try to be the best version of myself. I put all my trust and faith in my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He's put me in a position to be successful and I feel like He's given me the opportunity that I've needed, and I'm going to make the best out of it.

Q. Richard Jefferson was in the crowd and he was happy with the pick. How does it feel to be joining another Arizona alumni with joining the NBA and keeping that legacy alive?

BRAYDEN BURRIES: It's once in a blue moon. I feel like it's the opportunity of a lifetime. You know, the legends before me, I'm just trying to get to where they are at. Shout-out to all the AZ guys that got drafted. I feel like there's going to be another one tonight.
