Darryn Peterson Is Already Too Smooth: Splits, Finishes, and an And-1 vs Keaton Wagler

Darryn Peterson splitting that ball screen and rejecting it into the lane is exactly the kind of pivot foot IQ you can't teach. He plants on his jumping foot, gathers with both hands, and gets a floater off over a high contest at a speed most guys can't even dribble at.⁣
⁣
Then he runs the exact same action left handed and gets the same result. Being this comfortable going either direction this early is not normal.⁣
⁣
My favorite possession of the night though is the Spain pick and roll counter. When the back screen doesn't create the advantage, he immediately resets into get action, forces the switch, and just bullies his new man into the lane for the and-one.⁣
⁣
He's already talking postgame about his own gravity and how teams are loading up on him. Rookie of the Year radar is not a stretch here. #shorts
