Darryn Peterson Headed to Jazz at No. 2 Overall in NBA Draft
The Utah Jazz are taking Kansas guard Darryn Peterson with the No. 2 pick in the 2026 NBA Draft. The 19-year-old gives Utah a high-end shot creator after averaging 20.2 points, 4.2 rebounds, 1.6 assists, and 1.4 steals in 29.0 minutes while shooting 43.8 percent from the field, 38.2 percent from deep, and 82.6 percent at the line. Peterson's fantasy appeal will depend on how quickly the Jazz hand him lead-guard reps, because Keyonte George and Isaiah Collier are already part of the backcourt. His shooting should help him play next to both, while Lauri Markkanen gives Utah a proven scorer who can keep early defensive attention away from the rookie.
