Overview
- Teams reported positive impressions from Peterson’s combine interviews and measurements, noting he measured 6'4.5" barefoot with a 6'10" wingspan and came across as “quiet but serious.”
- Franchise medical staff are still reviewing Peterson’s combine exam and teams say those results are the single most important new variable after he missed time for injuries and severe cramping at Kansas.
- Peterson has told reporters that doctors linked his cramping to high doses of creatine, a detail that has introduced a medical-risk premium into how teams value him.
- League coverage and mock drafts have coalesced on a clear top-four tier — AJ Dybantsa, Darryn Peterson, Cameron Boozer, Caleb Wilson — with Dybantsa favored for No. 1 but not guaranteed that spot.
- Sources say the Jazz are unlikely to pay heavily to move up from No. 2, which means Peterson’s final draft position will hinge on individual workouts, the medical findings, and how Washington chooses to use the No. 1 pick.
