Difficult day for the Jazz on the optics front: Here you have Darryn Peterson refusing to work out for the team with the No. 2 pick, one year after Ace Bailey did the same (when they had No. 5).
Meanwhile, sources tell @TheAthletic that a player who does want to be there - big man Walker Kessler - is at odds with the front office over his lack of an extension offer last summer and the current handling of his restricted free agency.
More to come…
I highly recommend that you take the time to watch this interview, and get to understand Bennett Stirtz a little bit better youtu.be/YVvNXpTd-yo?si=Q3KH…

Basketball is still played between the ears.
Too much obsession over height and measurables. They matter, but feel, IQ, timing, and decision-making matter too.
Some people just know how to play. Brunson is proof.
Bennett Stirtz is one of the best upper class prospects in the 2026 Draft.
Draftstack’s Max Rosenberg (@MaximillianDane) breaks down his game, check it out at the link in the replies below! ⬇️ 🔗
"When you think back on your draft process, what do you think it was that was just underestimated, not seen in you at that time?"
Jalen Brunson: "Everything."
Jalen Brunson should be an eye-opener for NBA Draft discussion:
- evaluate skills, not draft age
- the mid-range matters
- size isn’t an end all, be all
- dribble, pass, shoot
- winning matter
