Darryn Peterson has visited the Washington Wizards, who hold the No. 1 pick in next week’s draft, and reportedly will not meet with any other teams.
ESPN reported Monday that the former Kansas guard does not plan to sit down with the Utah Jazz, who own the No. 2 slot, or any other clubs before the draft begins on June 23.
Peterson believes he is going to be the top pick, sources told ESPN, although most draft analysts have former BYU forward AJ Dybantsa going to the Wizards. Dybantsa has met with Washington and Utah.
The 6-foot-6 Peterson, 19, averaged 20.2 points and 4.2 rebounds in 24 games (23 starts) for the Jayhawks in 2025-26. He missed 11 games due to injuries and cramping issues.
The 6-foot-9 Dybantsa, 19, led the nation in scoring with 25.5 points per game and averaged 6.8 rebounds and 3.7 assists in 35 games (all starts) for the Cougars.
The Wizards finished 17-65 last season and have missed the playoffs in each of the past five campaigns. The Jazz are coming off a 22-60 season and have not been to the postseason since 2021-22.
