Re: Darryn Peterson
Ben Gordon in his prime but 6-5/6-6. And BG was one helluva player for a while with the Bulls. What strikes me about Peterson is he is unusually crisp and sudden in his movements, like an NBA veteran who spent years crafting his skill... its a scary trio of being long limbed, fast and having no wasted movement.

His movement reminds me a lot of Gordon too, but much more skilled. I do think I am starting to lean Dybantsa, but it is amazing how little space Peterson needs to score, just absolutely nothing.

Re: Darryn Peterson
he's a PG version of Kawhi imho. Should be #1. He'll feast in the wide open NBA. I think he's the type who could win MVP and DPOY in the same season like MJ if everything goes right

If Wemby stays fit (big IF) no other player is touching DPOY for the next decade.

Peterson is better than AJ and by a pretty clear margin. That said, no one wants to pass on a T Mac level talent with the right mindset and drive plus will. That's a multi time champion. That said, Peterson is just ridiculous. I agree with ya'll. He's a lot like Ben Gordon but at 6'6. It's insane how good he is at basketball. He's clearly better than anyone in last year's class and Flagg was purely special. He's not as polished as Coward but he a clearly better scorer. His skill level is insane. Probably the highest I've seen for a true freshman since Trae Young and Kyrie. While I completely understand him going 1st overall. The upside of AJ is why everyone including me is taking AJ. AJ upside is simply ridiculous.
