Wizards hold the No. 1 pick but trade and lineup plans hinge on whether Darryn Peterson accepts a point-guard role.
Speaking at Big 12 media day on Wednesday, Peterson -- a five-star recruit and 6-foot-6 guard who is projected to go No. 1 in ESPN's latest 2026 NBA mock draft -- said he's focused on helping the Jayhawks win this season, not the chatter about his future. "I handle it by not even paying any attention to it," Peterson told ESPN. "I'm just going to go out and play and win games."
