It was reported yesterday that top pick, Darren Peterson, he only took a, a meeting with the Washington Wizards, who holds the number one pick.
I just feel like every, uh, before your NBA career starts, especially, when you have this much potential, when you have a chance to be possibly the number one pick, uh, you don't want any negative headlines s- swirling around your name.
And I feel like going back to the college season last year, he had a couple of issues with his time at Kansas, his time with Bill Self, um, and now this.
this is interesting to me, because I think AJ's the consensus number one, so it would make more sense if he did that.
Um, but given his relationship with Ryan Smith in Utah, he's obviously, he's even taken two meetings.
... just is not, like optically, this just, and you're probably not gonna go number one, so like big picture, this just looks bad.
And if I'm the Utah Jazz or I'm the Memphis Grizzlies or I'm the Chicago Bulls, and it's a possible landing spot for this dude, I, I, I j- I've, I just feel like he already is starting off not wanting to be here, and it's just not a good look.
