#2

RANK

Pros:

  • elite jumpshooter from all levels; jamal murray/ant edwards-esque pull-up jumpshooting; projects well for playoff elevation

  • great defensive profile and activity; defensive playmaker with quick feet

  • great as a driver; beats POA consistently

  • great offensive flow; quick to make good passes + constantly moves w/o the ball

  • elite fast-twitch athlete

Cons:

  • not the most athletic; will his slight frame hinder his finishing ability?

  • not the best point of attack defender as it stands; more shy from physicality than preferred; screen nav is questionable

C: MVP

F: quality starter

Peterson is the most polished and dynamic freshman that I can remember. Lights-out shooter and has that alpha dog mentality, especially on defense. Gets downhill well and efficiently. Is the type of player that every NBA team wants. He can do anything and everything on the floor.

NBA Comp: I might be crazy, Kobe???

Low End: OJ Mayo Median: Penny Hardaway High End: Post-Shaq Kobe Pros: Scoring, Shooting, Speed, Defense, Playmaking Cons: High-Tier Athleticism Verdict: Not in the highest tier of athletes, but combination of bend/flexibility with speed allows for incredible inside scoring. Another productive and polished player. Not sure if he's a PG, but definitely a combo-guard with secondary playmaking skills.

(100% outcome Jalen Green)

  • Quick trigger, confident 3pt shooter

  • Great hands on D

  • Competitor

  • Playmaking

Can be a number 1 option, running with high USG. Super smooth, glides round the court and makes it look easy. Instinctive defender, can lead on both ends. Franchise guy.

12/1: Has a certainly flow and fluidity to his game that quite easily draws shades of Shai and Devin Booker. He is number one until proven otherwise; the translatable skills make him so low risk. Current Rank = 1

You CANNOT blitz him on screens, he's always able to play and read the game at his pace. As of right now, he's the most pro-ready guard prospect of the 2020s by some margin. Really like his shot diet + shotmaking ability, which is what puts him over Boozer for me. Projects to be more of a 2 guard, but he certainly has the potential to be a POA threat. Peterson has the defensive potential to hold his own against NBA wings; the combine measurements will be very telling.

IMO highest ceiling in this draft. The Wizards don't have a top level initiator which Peterson could be. He provides downhill rim pressure and can generate paint touches, which the current roster struggles with. Carringtons sophomore dip is worrying and indicates he might be better suited coming of the bench. Peterson also is promosing on defense, while perimeter defense is something the Wizards have struggled with.

His fit next to Tre Johnson III also excites me. They could form a dynamic backcourt with extraordinary offensive punch. However this backcourt might lack size and playmaking.

Peterson is an amazing talent, who fills a lot of needs on the roster.
