Overview
- On Monday, multiple outlets reported that Peterson completed extended visits and on-court workouts with the Washington Wizards and canceled planned meetings with other teams.
- Sources say team medical reviews have not produced major red flags, leaving Peterson eligible to be considered a top-two pick despite missed games and cramping at Kansas.
- AJ Dybantsa has met with both Washington and the Utah Jazz and still ranks highly on several big boards, so many evaluators continue to view the No. 1 choice as undecided.
- Rival executives and Utah insiders told reporters that Peterson declining a Jazz workout is not a deal-breaker and noted the franchise’s precedent of drafting prospects who skipped local visits.
- With the draft set for June 23, Washington’s pick, possible trades, roster fit with players like Trae Young, and public perception of Peterson’s tactics are the main factors to watch next.
