Peterson's comments consistently show to me that he's just concerned about being the number 1 pick. It feels like that's his sole motivation, not worried about fit or play time. It's not necessarily a bad motivation but it's weird when he's going out of his way to not equip himself well to be on a different team to the Wizards on draft day.

What does it matter to you?

I can tell by your concern over something so trivial that your team doesn't have a shot at Peterson.

Furthermore, he does care about fit, as he's stated that he prefers to play PG.

Yeah it's an observation not a concern. That's what forums are all about. Thanks for your own observation too.

Sure he wants to play PG but doesn't want to play in Utah because Keyonte plays there. He wants to play PG and sees no issue with Trae Young playing there. He hasn't met with Utah until this week. This is not a player preparing well to play for either team - it's Wizards or it's awkward.

Why does it matter to me? It's always interesting when a player seems more focused on when he goes in the draft.

We'll find out tonight though.
