What happened: The Utah Jazz selected Darryn Peterson with the second overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft. A panel of analysts broke down what the guard brings to Utah and how he fits the franchise's direction.

Why it matters: Landing a top-two talent gives the Jazz a foundational piece to build around as they shape their 2026-27 roster. Peterson's selection follows weeks of Utah weighing Peterson against other options at No. 2, settling the question of who anchors the team's next core.

What to watch: Watch how Peterson is slotted into Utah's backcourt rotation and what the Jazz do with the rest of their offseason now that the pick is in. Summer League will offer the first look at him in a Jazz uniform.
