Draymond Green advises Darryn Peterson on NBA Draft choices
Summary

Darryn Peterson approaches the NBA Draft after a strong season with Kansas. He opted not to work out for the Utah Jazz, who hold the second pick and are a potential landing spot for him. Draymond Green, on his podcast, emphasized that the Jazz will draft Peterson if they choose to, regardless of his preferences. The choice to avoid a workout with the Jazz raises questions about Peterson's outlook on potentially being the second or even first overall pick, particularly with AJ Dybantsa also in the mix for the top selections. Peterson is seen focusing on workouts with the Washington Wizards and Memphis Grizzlies instead.
