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

Darryn Peterson, 6'6, 205, SG, Kansas, Fr.

• Comp: George Gervin / James Harden / Devin Booker

• Ceiling: Hall of Fame

• Floor: Starter

• Most skilled player in the draft

• Best scorer in the draft, just a flamethrower

• Extremely polished

• Plays at his own pace, can’t be sped up or slowed down by anyone

• Super shifty

• Super-efficient

• Strong defender, struggles on big forwards but will probably be less of a problem as his body matures

• Could become a better playmaker

• Potential character issues keep him away from the top spot

• Expectation: Hall of Fame; Will have a Hall of Fame scoring ability early on, his career success will depend on the players around him and his ability to develop the rest of his game

It’s been a strange year for the talented 2-guard. I still think he’s the most gifted player in this draft but seeing him play limited minutes, sub out of games and not have a huge impact on winning when he is on the floor raises some concerns. There’s a real chance that his leg injury is a temporary thing and he’ll get back to his full speed and explosiveness by the time he’s suiting up in the NBA, so I hesitate to drop him too far. Don’t let the strange season fool you, this kid has superstar potential.

Pro Comp: Jamal Murray + more athleticism

Ceiling: All NBA, MVP Candidate Floor: Bench Spark

Best Team Fits: Atlanta, Dallas, Milwaukee, Brooklyn

Calling Card: Shotmaking and Athleticism

He’s so shifty and I love his game it’s so fun to watch. It’s so much about timing and angles. He can score from all levels too. He knows what he’s doing and he can help on the defensive end.

His biggest weakness is his availability and that’s the best ability so that’s a big thing and it sound like he didn’t rub off well on his teammates and his coach and his team wasn’t great when he was on the floor.

Comparison: SGA

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

1/31: Majorly outplayed Dybantsa today. Solidifying himself as the top prospect.

Prospect score: Scoring = 9 Shooting = 9 Playmaking = 3 Rebounding = 6.5 Defense = 7 Athleticism = 7.5 BPM / 3 + WS% = 7 Total = 49 / 70
