Summary
25 points and 12 assists from Darryn Peterson powered Utah to a Salt Lake City Summer League win over Memphis, reinforcing the Jazz guard's fast start.
Through 2 games, the No. 2 overall pick is averaging 26.5 points and 7.0 assists in 27.6 minutes while shooting 53% from the field, 44% from 3 and 83% at the line.
That mix of scoring and smooth on-ball and off-ball play has elevated Peterson into early best-rookie-in-class talk, with analysts already viewing him as fantasy relevant.
His next test comes Thursday against No. 1 pick AJ Dybantsa and Washington, a matchup that could become Summer League's early marquee rookie showdown.
