As the 2026 NBA Draft approaches, the Utah Jazz are evaluating their options for the No. 2 pick. Kansas guard Darryn Peterson is projected as a top selection but has declined to work out for the team. Meanwhile, Duke forward Cameron Boozer is also under consideration. The Jazz, led by Danny Ainge, are reportedly torn between drafting Peterson, noted for his scoring ability, and Boozer, who excels in passing and rebounding. Sources indicate that the Jazz may not prioritize position fit and could select the best player available. There are rumors of the Jazz potentially trading for the No. 1 overall pick if it allows them to select standout AJ Dybantsa, though this appears unlikely given the lack of a significant gap between the top prospects.
