Really don’t know what to think. Peterson clearly has elite talent. He just didn’t show it often in college. Was good, not great. He fits a clear need in Utah and could wind up being the best player in the class. People who saw him in high school are true believers. Sort of a weird personality too. Will he be all in living in Utah.
On the other hand, Boozer feels like a Ainge against the grain pick but Utah is filled with power forwards. They may have too many without Boozer. Supposedly teams analytic staffs mostly have Boozer at 1. I could see Ainge mesmerized with Boozer. The fit is just not as clear as it is with Peterson.
