The Utah Jazz will have the opportunity to draft a generational player regardless of who the Washington Wizards pick at #1. Two of AJ Dybantsa, Darryn Peterson, and Cam Boozer will be there to pick, depending on what the Wizards do.
But of all those three prospects, who will survive Utah Twitter the best? Let’s take a look.
Darryn Peterson

Peterson doesn’t post much on his socials. They tend to be self-promotion and team-related tweets, and some
Instagram stories about his puppy, Denim. His Instagram profile pic is Kobe Bryant, and his Twitter profile pic is Edward Scissorhands. There’s not a lot you can derive from these about Peterson, but that’s not a bad thing. Peterson is very much focused on basketball, based on his profiles, and it doesn’t look like he’s spending much time interacting. Overall, this is a very good sign for the future. I’m also a fan of his posts relating to Kobe Bryant. If that’s the player the Jazz are getting if they get Peterson, there’s a lot to be excited about for Jazz fans.
AJ Dybantsa

Dybantsa is much more active on socials and gives a broader window into his life and basketball. Dybantsa also documents his basketball life on YouTube. If a dynamic social presence is what you want from your superstar, Dybantsa is your guy. This is definitely something that could help Dybantsa become an iconic player in the league.
Having a big social presence can be a double-edged sword. Will Dybantsa be satisfied in Utah if he’s not getting all the endorsement deals of a bigger market? Chances are he’ll be fine. He did choose to come to Utah for college, after all.
Cam Boozer

Boozer is similar to Darryn Peterson but probably gives a little bit more of a window into his life and his family. On Twitter, he promotes his basketball life as well as his twin brother Cayden Boozer’s.
It’s clear he isn’t spending a ton of time on his socials and uses it for promotion and basketball and not much else. The Boozer family has strong ties to Utah, which makes his socials really fun for Jazz fans. It’s also a bonus for Boozer that he has no connection to one of the colleges in Utah, which would help him avoid any issues with the local rivalry.
The Verdict?
The player most likely to survive Utah Twitter?
Darryn Peterson
Because Peterson almost never posts on Twitter, he has almost zero potential problems. Dybantsa will have a lot of BYU fans, but you can bet you’ll have some rivalry-related tweets coming his way. Boozer is very similar to Peterson on socials, with it being mostly milquetoast tweets. But with Peterson posting less, he gets the edge.
Congrats to Darryn Peterson, who clearly is all about basketball and not much else.
It’s not clear if social media will play into who goes #1 in the NBA Draft. Right now at FanDuel, AJ Dybantsa has the edge at -450 and Darryn Peterson is the second most likely at +380.
