Darryn Peterson

Peterson is goooood. But we already knew that. Just had a crazy burst and drive to the basket (which he can't do according to bigboi)

You IMMEDIATELY see that he is going to be a superstar in the NBA. That he is not the usual star level prospect we've had in the last decade. The Tatum, Cunningham kinds, where you know they are great but not top 5 level great. But with Peterson I immediately see a future MVP, an actual superstar the kind we haven't seen since the Curry, Harden, KD generation. He just has that "it" that I have barely seen with any college prospect the last decade or so. Finally. About damn time we got an american superstar that might reach the heights of the current top 5 guys.

Peterson will never reach Tatum level. Only person that can is Dybantsa

When was the last shooting guard prospect that was this good? Wade? Luka if you count him as a shooting guard?

As a prospect. We had Wade, Mayo, Harden, Edgecombe, Ivey, Miller, and Green who were highly wanted SGs. We haven't had a special SG prospect since Allen Iverson. Dylan Harper of course. Harper and Fultz. That said, Peterson is a higher tier than them. Probably Iverson. That was the last OMG, SG coming out.

Anthony Edwards?

That was not a highly regarded draft class at all. He developed into an amazing player, but he wasn't seen as a can't miss prospect and was really inconsistent in college.

Edwards sucked in college and had played almost no high level competition in high school and really bad intangibles. He was obviously a worse prospect than Jalen Green and (of course) Cade Cunningham.

Good list. Mayo fell off a lot because he wasn't great in college, and didn't it come out that he was a year older than listed? Or maybe I am thinking of Shabazz Muhammed? Miller and Green were pretty well liked, but not in serious contention for the first puck in their drafts. Same with VJ. Harden is the one where I know a ton of people on this board loved him even though he did not have the largest role in college.

He looks good overall, one thing that stands out to me upon first glance is that he might lack a bit of vertical pop.

Fultz? Obviously he didn't work out, but he was extremely polished when he was at college

Think he was touted as a point guard. If you want to say shooting guard, maybe?
