What happened: Yahoo reports the Utah Jazz remain torn between guard Darryn Peterson and big man Cam Boozer with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft, even though Peterson did not work out for the team. The Jazz are described as unbothered by the skipped session.

Why it matters: The choice shapes Utah's rebuild: Peterson would add a perimeter scorer, while Boozer would bring another frontcourt piece to a roster already weighing its positional needs. The same Darryn Peterson worked out for the Wizards but declined a Jazz session, sharpening questions about where he ultimately lands.

What to watch: Watch whether Utah arranges a late look at either prospect and how Washington's No. 1 decision narrows the board ahead of the draft.
