NEW YORK — Continued criticism of standout guard Darryn Peterson is not expected to damage his standing ahead of the 2026 NBA Draft, according to a report published Thursday.
The New York Post article states that, despite ongoing negative commentary about Peterson’s stint at Kansas, league evaluators remain confident in his potential. One source quoted in the report labeled the 6-foot-5 prospect “big time.”
The Brooklyn Nets were specifically mentioned as a franchise that could target Peterson, the report added, though no formal talks have been disclosed.
Peterson, 18, averaged double figures in his lone collegiate season and is widely projected as a first-round pick.
