Kendrick Perkins says Darryn Peterson floor is Bradley Beal, and his ceiling talent-wise is Kobe Bryant:
“I say that respectfully, I’m not saying he’s going to have Kobe Bryant type of career, I’m talking about the talent level there it’s nothing that this man can’t do. You is not stopping this young man from getting any shot, he gets any shot, he gets to any spot that he wants to.”

If Cam Boozer isn’t a player who can help bring a championship to Memphis, I don’t care how “safe” the pick is or how good of a role model he may be. The constant criticism of Peterson’s character feels like malpractice when he could very well be the best player by next April.
The Oklahoma City Thunder are finalizing a trade to send guard Aaron Wiggins to the Atlanta Hawks for two second-round picks (Atlanta's in 2030 and the least favorable of Hawks/Lakers in 2032), sources tell ESPN.
