The Utah Jazz are coming away with one of the greatest draft opportunities in all of team history. The #2 pick could not have happened in a more talented draft. The question is, did they make the right pick? Here is a roundup of all the draft grades around the league, telling us how the Jazz did.
This group of draft grades gives the Jazz a GPA of 3.66. That puts the Jazz average at an A- or in the 90-92% range. Not bad for the Jazz, who come away with one of the most heralded guard prospects in decades.
Darryn Peterson is the type of player who will change everything for the franchise. Peterson is the type of prospect who has every career outcome on the table if he reaches his potential. What do I mean by career outcome? Things like All-Stars, All-NBAs, MVPs, and Hall-of-Fame. Those are the types of things that Peterson could potentially reach with his level of talent.
I’d say picking a player like that is definitely worthy of an A-. It’s grades like these that remind me that some teachers are curmudgeons and just want to give a low grade. You can’t win no matter what you do.
FanDuel now has the Rookie of the Year odds added. It looks like Darryn Peterson is tied for second with AJ Dybantsa behind Cam Boozer.
