2025 Draft Profile - Darryn Peterson

NBA Draft Room - August 8th: "Peterson is one of the best guard prospects of the past decade and he jumps to no.1 overall after a stellar senior season. He’s as smooth and as polished as any big guard since Kobe and he can do it all on the court."

Sam Vecenie - The Athletic - June 29th: "He can play both on the ball or off it and projects as the kind of high-level backcourt shot maker in the Donovan Mitchell mold. He has an innate understanding of how to change pace and direction to get to the exact spots on the court that he wants."

Jonathan Givony - ESPN - June 27th: "Peterson was the best player in high school last season, possessing a coveted combination of size, length, explosiveness and shot creation. He's a capable passer with strong defensive playmaking ability and scoring talent."

Kevin Sweeney - SI - June 27th: "Peterson possesses elite size for a guard at 6' 6" with long arms and a sturdy frame, and he’s already incredibly polished offensively with rare change-of-place ability that allows him to effectively score at all three levels. He’ll get a chance to further his No. 1 pick candidacy on a huge stage at Kansas, where he should have every opportunity to post gaudy numbers on a team that largely features lower-usage role players around him."
