NBA Scout Recommends Darryn Peterson Consider Sitting Out

An anonymous NBA talent evaluator told Hoops Wire that elite high-school guard Darryn Peterson should strongly consider ending his on-court activities now to safeguard his draft outlook.
The scout’s advice, disclosed in a Hoops Wire report headlined “Should Darryn Peterson shut it down? One NBA scout says yes,” centers on reducing the risk of injury before Peterson becomes draft-eligible. The evaluator believes the 6-foot-5 prospect has already demonstrated enough to NBA teams and could preserve his value by stepping away from further competition.
Peterson, regarded by numerous recruiting services as one of the nation’s top high-school players in the 2025 class, has not publicly responded to the suggestion. His current plans for the remainder of the prep and grassroots schedule remain unknown.
The report did not specify whether the recommendation applies to Peterson’s high-school season, AAU play, or both. No timeline was offered for a potential decision.
