2026 NBA draft thread

[*]From Google:

[*]Highest Efficiency Ever: finished the season with a Box Plus-Minus (BPM) of 12.6, the highest ever recorded for a freshman guard in college basketball history.

KU Scoring Record: He averaged 19.8 points per game, which ranks first all-time among Kansas freshmen.

One of only two freshman along with Antoine Davis to achieve:
-Free Throws: Attempted >100 and shot >80% (Peterson: 132 attempts, 82.6%).
-Non-Rim Two-Pointers: Attempted >100 and shot >40% (Peterson: 124 attempts, 42.7%).
-Three-Pointers: Attempted >100 and shot >38% (Peterson: 165 attempts, 38.2%).
-Volume Frequency: Recorded more than 13 three-pointers per 100 possessions (Peterson: 13.9)

I'm still on the Peterson train. If he can get fully healthy and regain the athleticism he had in high school that solves most of the issues that plagued him this year. He'd be able to blow by his defender again, create more open looks for teammates, and his efficiency would improve. Add that to the elite off-ball game he showed at Kansas and you've got a star in the making.
