Darren Peterson is my Rookie of the Year right now and it isn't close. Combo and I broke this down and the comparison that keeps coming to mind is a six-foot-six Kyrie Irving. Every option in the bag, better passer than I expected, and completely under control at his own pace.
If I'm running the Jazz, I'm handing him the keys. Let him chase 30 a night and build around it. Utah has no incentive to win games this year, so the usage is coming his way regardless. Lowry and Ace Bailey are still there too, so this roster might be better than people think.
He'll turn it over, he'll have rookie mistakes, that's fine. But the poise is real and that's why he ends up walking away with this award. #shorts
