Gianni’s Analysis
Darryn Peterson has been touted as the prospect with the most potential in the 2026 draft and in many big boards he has been listed as #1. While Peterson is impressive, I just don't see how he is the definitive best prospect especially with his health concerns. However, he does a lot of great things at a high-level such as spacing the floor, scoring from all three levels and playmaking. He doesn't do much bad, other than the occasional excessive fouling and defensive laspes. The game comes easily to Darryn which does make him one of the more exciting guard prospects in recent years.
