2026 Draft Profile - Darryn Peterson

Jeremy Woo - ESPN - March 11th: "It's important to keep in mind how strongly many evaluators felt about Peterson coming into the season, particularly scouts who saw him play in high school. Although his role at Kansas has largely moved him off the ball, there remains optimism around his playmaking and ability to operate as a lead ball handler."

Jonathan Wasserman - Bleacher Report - March 10th: "Though no longer viewed as the clear favorite at No. 1, Darryn Peterson is still right in the mix, averaging 19.9 points on 59.2 true shooting. His shotmaking skill has looked as advertised, with Peterson hitting 59.3 percent of his short-range jumpers, 44.4 percent of his long twos and 40.3 percent of his 6.9 three-point attempts per game."

NBA Draft Room - March 6th: "It's been a strange year for the talented 2-guard. I still think he's the most gifted player in this draft but seeing him play limited minutes, sub out of games and not have a huge impact on winning when he is on the floor raises some concerns."

Sam Vecenie - The Athletic - March 2nd: "What exactly are the injuries? Is it a long-term concern? Is it an issue of mentality and comfort playing through minor injuries? Is this all much ado about nothing, and will we all look back on Peterson's career and think this was silly?"
