Darryn Peterson Won't Work Out for Utah Jazz Ahead of NBA Draft, Report Says
ESPN reported he will work out only for the Wizards, a move that could shape the top of the draft board.
- On Monday, ESPN's Shams Charania reported that Kansas guard Darryn Peterson will only visit the Washington Wizards, while BYU's AJ Dybantsa visited both the Wizards and the Utah Jazz ahead of the draft.
- Although Peterson declined a visit, the Utah Jazz previously selected Ace Bailey with the fifth overall pick in 2025 despite him not working out for the team, establishing precedent for drafting without formal workouts.
- While Peterson battled cramping issues at Kansas, ESPN's Jeremy Woo reported that his medicals have not raised major concerns with teams, clearing the way for him to be a top-two pick.
- Duke forward Cameron Boozer remains a top prospect for the Utah Jazz, as his father Carlos starred for the franchise and is currently employed by the team, providing a strong familial connection.
- With the draft eight days away, Utah Jazz president of basketball operations Austin Ainge must decide whether to trust available tape or prioritize prospects like Dybantsa who completed formal visits.
