My algorithm seems to be stuck on Darryn Peterson. This is a pretty good breakdown of his game. Anybody find any similar breakdowns for AJ's game, and what makes him special/unique out there?

Not too long now fellows, let’s kill some more time until the pick tonight 😂. I didn’t see this video posted on here, but for reference and discussion’s sake on the day of the draft, let’s discuss…

Let me preface, I am not saying that he is any way going to have a career like Kobe, but Peterson’s movements and game resemble Kobe a lot for a young talent. I know this is a high school matchup, but looking at the video, who are we saying AJ ‘s game/movement/mindset map to?

For further context, I am referencing this video primarily, but also what we’ve seen throughout this year.

By the way, that game winner by DP in the video is legit 👌🔥

Man, looking at these latest highlights of Peterson, he seems like a true No. 1 out of all the picks. Yes AJ has the athleticism and size and his highlights are impressive, but Peterson is just such a smooth scorer and his game looks like it will transfer very well to the next level.

The injury thing seems like a fluke, and the questioning of his attitude is really ridiculous. You don't get this good at this young age without work ethic and drive. Honestly, I think the playing up of his behavior from this past year is mainly to drive his stock down, so that other teams will have a shot at drafting him.

Ultimately, if they draft AJ, he may have a solid career, I just don't see the same ceiling when I watch him play and a lot of his highlights from last year, you really have to look at the competition. Peterson, on the other hand 😮‍💨

Trade back with the Jazz if you have to and gain some more assets, but this guy is going to be something!

I love that the Wizards have THE choice in this draft.
