Darryn Peterson has declined to work out with the Utah Jazz, who hold the No. 2 pick in the upcoming NBA draft. This situation echoes last year's refusal by Ace Bailey, who turned down a workout when the team had the No. 5 pick.

The move raises questions about players' engagement in pre-draft evaluations and team assessments as the draft approaches.
