  10H ago • By RotoWire

  Peterson provided 18 points (4-13 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 7-7 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one steal in 26 minutes during Wednesday's 117-111 overtime loss to San Antonio. Peterson struggled to find his rhythm from the field but compensated with three triples and a perfect showing at the charity stripe. The rookie displayed his scoring potential despite playing considerably fewer minutes than fellow starters Keyonte George and Ace Bailey. His perimeter shooting and ability to draw fouls should help support his fantasy value as he develops.

  7D ago • By RotoWire

  Peterson amassed nine points (3-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds and three assists across 31 minutes during Wednesday's 123-103 loss to Memphis. The No. 2 overall pick started at shooting guard in his first regular-season appearance, receiving the third-most minutes among Utah's starters. Peterson attempted just seven shots and struggled to establish himself offensively, but his substantial workload suggests the Jazz intend to give him considerable opportunities to develop. His scoring volume should increase as he becomes more comfortable alongside Keyonte George, Lauri Markkanen and Jaren Jackson.

• Jazz's Darryn Peterson: Struggles with shot Friday

  12D ago • By RotoWire

  Peterson recorded 13 points (4-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, six assists and a steal across 29 minutes in Friday's 119-116 preseason win over the Suns. Peterson struggled with his shooting efficiency but made meaningful contributions elsewhere. The young guard finished tied for the team lead with six assists while collecting six rebounds, the second-best mark on the team, showcasing his versatility despite an inconsistent offensive performance. He also committed just one turnover in a team-high 29 minutes, an encouraging sign for his decision-making. Peterson's ability to contribute across multiple categories could help him earn a significant role in Utah's backcourt as the regular season approaches, and as a rookie in a rebuilding team, he'll be given every opportunity to log heavy minutes. He's expected to be the Jazz's starting shooting guard come Opening Night against the Grizzlies on Wednesday.
