Utah Jazz shock the league by drafting Darryn Peterson second overall — a combo guard with elite shooting potential and the makings of a franchise cornerstone. With thin guard depth, Peterson slots in perfectly beside Keyonte George, while veterans like Lauri Markkanen and Jaren Jackson Jr. provide crucial support. His offense thrives in Utah’s motion-heavy system, but he’ll need to sharpen his playmaking to unlock his full ceiling. Rookie struggles are expected, but the Jazz are betting big on him to lead them into the postseason while developing — and they’re banking on his talent to shine in Salt Lake City.
