Of course with the Mavs having the 9th pick, anything they could do to get him short of trading Cooper Flagg would still be exciting. But if the Mavs had a top 3 pick, I would be very weary of Peterson. He's like the opposite of Jalen Brunson when it comes to intangibles and vibes.
You didnt play half your games in college because of creatine? I call BS. Your HOF head coach looked uncomfortable answering questions about why you weren't on the court.
Also showed very little playmaking ability in college. Feels like a Bradley Beal type prospect to me. No doubt he'll average 25ppg at some point in his NBA career but not sure he's that dude.
Petersen feels, to me, like a guy blessed with great talent who does the minimum to get by. If his talent gets results and rewards, then great, but if he has to work for it, then maybe the cost is too much.
Just a gut feeling that he's going to show up as a prima donna, especially if he's #1. Interesting to see what happens with that meets the reality of an NBA season.
