“Hey Darryn, we are going to take you with the #1 pick. If we put it out there that we are still strongly considering AJ and you tell the world you don’t want to play for Utah, maybe they’ll trade up with us and give us pieces to make us even better”
Irrelevant that Darryn Peterson won’t work out for Utah.
Jazz met with him at NBA Combine, seen him play plenty in high school and last season at Kansas.
Key is how comfortable or concerned they are after digging in, talking to everyone around Peterson about his mental makeup.
The Big 12’s court action left no choice. Even if this may be the cleanest end to the situation, you can bet Tech is already talking exit strategy from the Big 12.
Ending the tortilla tradition and now this, they don’t have Tech’s back and they shouldn’t benefit from having us.
