[Highlight] Replays of some Darryn Peterson highlights from the game
Future superstar
His shotmaking and foul baiting are both insane lol
He’s like a weird mix of Kawhi + SGA + Prime Ray Allen on offense. So insanely skilled.
Yeah I was about to say
Yup. Those are the comparisons I see too. I said Kawhi, SGA, and Durant combo in another post. Ray Allen might be more accurate.
He makes it look effortless which is such an amazing sign at such a young age
Between him and Keyonte I fully expect other fanbases to hate the Jazz by midseason lol
I know I’m delusional but he really reminds me of how Kobe moves
The one they showed where he gets in the paint did exactly that for me.
His walk has the same gait. Kinda wild
not delusional,
his high school tape showcases him as the lead heliocentric guard instead of whatever role player Bill Self wanted DP to conform to at Kansas.
he’s cut from the same cloth as the SGA’s, Kobe’s, D Wades etc
He reminds me of Kyrie with more height, worse handle
That’s what he looks like to me. Still janky with it but he’s 19. It’ll smooth out.
Smooth as hell. Certain guys just make scoring look easy and at their own pace. Kobe, SGA, Brunson like
That turnaround fade is smooth.
He’s gonna lead the league in scoring one day
The big black DP
Bro he’s fucking legit asf wtf
Why are you so surprised lol, he has been the most hyped guard prospect in many years.
How is this shocking? This is how he looked in college, the question is about his drive and injury history but on the court he’s been insane
Oh brother js stfu and let me enjoy what I’m watching,I can’t be impressed at what he’s doing just bec he did it in college?
Ur right my bad
Dude you commented on a discussion forum express “wtf” that he’s actually good, don’t get offended when people ask why you’re surprised…
Never got offended and I’m not surprised that he’s that good I’m just in awe watching him score so the wtf was totally used correctly
The only reason he didn’t go 1 was because of the weird cramping issues
Last time I was this optimistic and excited about the future was June 10, 2021.
Tbh I’ve never been this optimistic
I was delusional. I thought Utah was gonna win it all in 2021 after going up 2-0 on the Clippers.
He plays like a certain somebody who wore #8 and then #24.
Reminds me more of rookie SGA. The smoothness, fluidity, and ease of scoring. This kid is a certified bucket.
Nothing from this highlight reel looks anything like Kobe. Just let this man be good on his own name
Not even close
The Wizards may regret not listening to John Wall.
Relaxxxxxx we haven’t seen AJ yet
Within his rookie contract he will be seen as a top 15 player in the league. Gotta stay healthy, but his game is the kind that flourishes in this league.
Decision making speed often tells you the level a player will reach. Its summer league and hes light speed compared to these guys. Future star if he gets the chance to play as much as possible.
Believe what he’s done it at every level
Entering the league as a top8 shot maker is crazy
Nice passing
People overreacting here already lol I love it. Not rooting on bro to fail but he gotta step on the NBA court and do this before I believe it
thats cedric coward and javon small hes cookin effortlessly btw
Wrong guy went number one
The Darryn Peterson will finish ahead of the Lakers next season.
For real though, he looks very good. Will Hardy usually brings rooks through slowly, but with the poise he’s showing he may be starting from the get go.
and you guys have Keyonte to take shot making pressure off DP if he starts along side him. Ace on the wing, Lauri and JJJ shot making. Should be tons of fire power. Would be interested to see DP share the floor with Collier a bit too. Collier playmaking setting Darryn up.
That was a hall of fame flop my god
lmaoooo that was a WWE flop
They let tall DeRozan go first, im sick
Obviously summer league isn’t an end all be all indicator but he’s looking real good. Extremely smooth game at his own pace.
I picked him and Acuff Jr to be the top 2 rookies
Man pull him out of summer league 😂 he’s not even breaking a sweat
Gonna be better than dybantsa and it was so obvious every time they shared a court
Silly wizards, lucky jazz
Peterson is gonna be looked at just like Dylan Harper is now
What? Obviously Flagg should’ve been the 1st pick
He would have if he didn’t reclass
Harper still goes #2 in a redraft, you are delusional if you think he is better than Flagg.
Harper isn’t even on Flaggs tier lmfao
He’s fantastic
This dude is not 19 wtf
He was so obviously the #1 pick. Wizards got this one wrong
You havn’t even seen Dybantsa play lol.
Like, Peterson has looked really really good, but these people are insane. Premature judgement is stupid as hell.
Yup. Comments here more premature than me in bed.
Yeah AJ is also going to look crazy in summer league.
We have years of film on tbese guys already
Yes, years of film in which Dybantsa looked fucking incredible…
There is of course a world where DP has the better career, but acting like it’s settled after two summer league games is ridiculous.
You don’t think AJ is gonna get easy buckets lol? He lead the nation in scoring in college on like 61%TS and His game translates perfectly to the NBA.
I wouldn’t say perfect he lives in the midrange and doesn’t have a great 3 point shot or defense. I think he’ll need to adapt a little but he’s got the talent to do it.
SGA lives in the midrange and only developed a 3pt shot like 3 seasons ago.
AJ is one of the most efficient mid range scorers and finishers in the class, very similar offensive game to Flagg, except I think his bag is deeper, but yeah his defense is mediocre at best atm.
Yeah when Shai adapted his game to the NBA by improving his 3 point shot accuracy and volume, he took the leap from all star to superstar.
And I know he has a bag that’s why I said he has the talent to adapt his game.
Wait until you see Michael Beasley’s college numbers
Dybantsa hasn’t even played yet Holy shit. Let’s AT LEAST give him a chance. Also, this is Summer League.
Least reactionary Summer League take

I’m sorry, did you say that Cameron Boozer would go below Trae Young in a draft???
Already practicing his SGA moves, I see
Everyone is, NBA “fans” hate him and his game, but all the top prospects have been studying his game.
NBA players don’t care about ethical hoops, the vast majority of stars foul baiting or flop. And if you can become a top 2 player in the league you go for it
Winning over everything.
You think MJ wasn’t taking trips to the FT line?
i wanted him over AJ, but i hope both go on to become super stars
I’m not going to sit here and deny he looks great out there but some of yall throwing sand on AJ because of your personal feelings towards him and it shows.
Both players can be great. Peterson is more refined in his core capacities right now. AJ has clear things to work on, but has the tools and the length and talent to do so.
Am I crazy or does he still look explosive than he did in high school? I still think he’s gonna be a superstar but I also don’t believe the creatine cramp story
[deleted]
Bruh I’m high on DP too, but we haven’t even seen Dybantsa take the court. Pump the breaks.
Also stop fanning the Jazz-Wizards beef lol.
No need to be a dick. At least give AJ a chance to play first
I think boozer is better than both
Seriously? Are you just saying this to have a contrarian opinion?
No he averaged 23-10-4 as an 18 year old in college and has Jokic like playmaking potential at the 4, likely ROTY
