Peterson is an elite shot maker at his worst outcome, and has serious upside with athleticism and playmaking he showed in high school that he limited by his cramping and Kansas situation. No brainer number 1 to me

Any new information about how teams are viewing his medicals? If he has a clean bill of health, does he become the choice for the Wizards?

I haven’t seen anything come out that really has given any indication that he was having any major injury issues. Rather it was a hydration & creatine use issue giving him cramps. That’s at least what he said so far & his camp.

I’m just not really the type of person to speculate further than what’s in front of me with stuff like that. I remember Paolo having issues early in his NBA career with cramping but it was due to excessive sweat.

If this was a mock draft post & I was the wizards I would have probably gone deeper into fit or lack thereof alongside Trae Young.

I think he is a really solid option for a team that wants to invest in scoring going forward. I’ve heard comps to Booker & Lillard. I see more of like Ant lite. Might not have the power athletically but will likely have a similar impact scoring at all 3 levels. It’s just such a good draft, it’s hard to not get enticed by Cam Boozers fit with them (Wiz).
