What happened: The Utah Jazz are reportedly split between prospects Darryn Peterson and Cameron Boozer for the No. 2 selection in the 2026 NBA Draft. While Peterson recently declined a workout session with the team, the front office is reportedly undeterred as they evaluate his fit alongside their current core.
Why it matters: Choosing between the high-scoring Peterson and the versatile Boozer will define Utah's future roster construction. Peterson recently completed a workout for the Washington Wizards, who hold the No. 1 pick, which may force Utah to pivot toward Boozer's interior presence.
By the numbers: Peterson (Kansas): 20.2 PPG, 4.2 RPG, 38.2% 3PT. Boozer (Duke): 22.5 PPG, 10.2 RPG, 4.1 APG, 55.6% FG.
What to watch: The Jazz will finalize their big board ahead of the June draft, with the Wizards' choice at No. 1 likely determining Utah's direction.
