Let’s talk this Darryn Peterson fiasco

[Flight]

At best, it's a Kyrie situation where he was hurt all the time but the talent was too obvious.

But if you're load managing in college where it's less than half of the games during an NBA season, where he's sitting out parts of games where they'd conceivably need him, his priorities aren't aligned with the rest of the team.

I get the fear of injury (we just saw JT Toppin's college career end on a torn ACL) but then don't play. Jalen Johnson quit on his team and while his draft stock took a hit, now he's the main man on the Hawks. If this is on his dad, then Darryn needs to realize he ain't Kawhi and his dad ain't Uncle Dennis. Lonzo and LaVar (really LaVar) pulled this shyt, and it ended up bad for both of them. If he's healthy, shut everything else out and play.

It’s his dad and agent bruh. Trust me on this.

this is from a few weeks ago after he took himself out of the BYU game but they made great points about it's reported as cramping issues but when he's on the bench he's not getting any treatment that you would normally see with cramping issues

when is the last time DP has spoken with media? Kansas doesn't make him available before or after games?

 

[Rev]

Wonder if he and his team kinda hope Kansas gets bounced in the first weekend of the tournament on the low

He’s not trying- yall had this same outrage over Flagg who also, was not trying.

Peterson has taken it to an entirely new level but it should have been clear he wasn’t taking college seriously when he committed to Kansas- this just tape for him. Plus I think he may on that Mike’s secret stuff because he’s shown all the symptoms but that’s slander and I won’t go further on that, either way this is overblown.

I’d take him #1 off talent alone, but you should absolutely be wary about his commitment to the game or if he’ll try to finesse a franchise for a bag then coast. Either way he’ll sleepwalk to 20 a game in the nba, Acuff is the better player right now but that height makes him too much of a liability- although I think it won’t effect him at all, my 1 and 2 for sure

When this nikka putting up empty stats on mediocre teams, you'll be hopping on another 19 year old's dikk making up fake talking points to argue with yourself like you have any idea what the fukk you talking about

 

[RubioTheCruel]

Really good prospect. I wouldn't want a team I was rooting for to draft him high.

 

[theflyest]

I would not fukk with him at all. I can’t blame any team for passing on him even if he goes on to be a good pro. Just too many red flags.

Should NIL money be prorated based on games played?
Dude is only in college to get to the NBA so i'm not THAT mad at him load managing himself but it gets kind of dicey if donors could have gave that money to a top player who actually would be available for games

He do be playing for a little while . Just not too much

 

[High quality poster]

The hate is getting crazy now. I said AJ probably number 1, but he’s not falling below 2. He’s actually that good, and the scariest part is he’s probably playing 60-70%. If this draft wasn’t loaded it wouldn’t matter. But AJ also elite and is a Nike athlete, so he’s probably going 1st, especially if Utah gets #1 pick.

Peterson could have gone for 40 last night. nikka hit a three and was like get me outta here

 

[papa pimp]

the coli says to unanimously not draft him high so of course he will be #1 in a redraft a decade from now lol.

 

[charknicks]

Yeah, no matter how talented he is, I cant take him #1 when there are other very talented players like Dybantsa, Boozer and others.

The main thing is that HE/HIS CAMP is taking him out of the games. It would be different if KANSAS was taking him out. As others have said, he is getting paid now. If the Jazz or Pacers still pay you and choose to sit you, cool. But you cant just shut down on your own and expect me to still pay you.

 

[BlackMajik]

His family is obviously full of idiots

They should be telling him to sit out the rest of the season. Not play a lil bit in a game then sit out
