"One NBA scout told The Smoking Cuban that they attended a Kansas practice in Lawrence this season, and it seemed like Peterson went through the entire practice without missing a shot. This practice included a live five-on-five period, and shooting perfectly from the field through a whole practice is rare unless you're playing NBA 2K."
The 2026 NBA Draft features premier prospects like Cameron Boozer, AJ Dybantsa, and Darius Acuff, prompting teams to pursue tanking strategies. Projected No. 1 overall pick Darryn Peterson experienced a draft stock decline over recent months, not from performance issues but from concerns about his character and work ethic off the court. However, Peterson's exceptional showing during a Kansas practice session, where he reportedly didn't miss a shot throughout the entire practice including live five-on-five play, has significantly impressed NBA scouts and teams. This standout practice performance appears sufficient to overcome previous doubts and reinvigorate team interest in Peterson as a top draft prospect.
