NBA Comparisons For Every Realistic Jazz Draft Target

This upcoming NBA Draft is looking like one of the all-time great drafts at the top. AJ Dybantsa, Darryn Peterson, and Cam Boozer are looking like an elite top-3 to choose from. What’s different about the optimism with this draft is that it seems warranted for these players. Let’s look at the best and worst case scenarios for each player.

Darryn Peterson

Worst Case Scenarios

DeMar DeRozan 6’6”

Zach LaVine 6’5”

Arron Afflalo 6’5”

Kevin Martin 6’7”

Jordan Clarkson 6’4”

Michael Redd 6’6”

Eric Gordon 6’4”

Tyreke Evans 6’6”

Jamal Murray 6’4”

Gilbert Arenas 6’4”

Best Case Scenarios

Anthony Edwards 6’4”

Dwyane Wade 6’4”

Kobe Bryant 6’6”

Devin Booker 6’5”

SGA 6’6”

Vince Carter 6’6”

Brandon Roy 6’6”

Michael Jordan 6’6”

This is a list of notable players between 6’4 and 6’6” that averaged 20 or more points per game from 1990 and on. It seems reasonable that Peterson would average that amount once he gets into the league with his elite shooting

The first thing you notice is that averaging 20+ points per game is not an easy thing to do in the league. To do it efficiently makes you an incredible player in the league. There’s an obvious variation of style and athleticism with each player, but the correlating factor is their ability to score. What makes me excited about Peterson is that he’s been shown to have an incredible ability to score efficiently both on and off the ball. If that scoring carries over, he could be a potent cornerstone of a great offense.
