Overview
- Multiple outlets reported Monday that Kansas guard Darryn Peterson has met only with the Washington Wizards and canceled a planned workout with the Utah Jazz.
- BYU forward AJ Dybantsa completed formal visits with both Washington and Utah, keeping him a leading candidate for the top pick if the Wizards prefer him.
- League sources say Peterson’s medical evaluations, including his explanation for recurring cramping, have not raised major red flags for NBA personnel.
- The Utah Jazz remain undecided at No. 2 and are “genuinely torn” between Dybantsa, Peterson and Duke’s Cameron Boozer as they weigh fit with their frontcourt and family ties to Boozer.
- With the Wizards holding leverage at No. 1, Peterson’s limited access can be read as a strategic signal that could influence whether Washington drafts him, trades the pick, or takes Dybantsa on June 23.
