The Utah Jazz face a tough decision as they hold the No. 2 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft. The team must choose between AJ Dybantsa, Darryn Peterson, and Cameron Boozer. Complicating their choice, Peterson has only agreed to workout with the Washington Wizards, who hold the top pick. Reports indicate that Jazz executives remain undecided a week before the draft. The franchise previously selected a small forward last year, adding to the difficulty of the decision between Peterson and Boozer, especially given Utah's current frontcourt depth with Lauri Markkanen and Jaren Jackson Jr.
