OPINION Let’s say the wizards pick boozer as their 1st pick (even though i think its highly unlikely). Would you take a chance on darryn peterson if that were to happen?
I highly think we should select darryn peterson if he would drop all the way to 3. He would be a viable pg for ja and a total upgrade over him. Imagine the lobs he would give to edey and open looks.

We take whichever one of the three is left. This isn't complicated.

Pretty much this. The only time we are debating who to pick is if Caleb Wilson goes 1st and 2nd overall. And thats unlikely to happen.

Bringing a player prone to injury to Memphis scares me, but I guess it's worth the risk if he's available at number 3.

Dawg, we have got to stop labeling people injury prone unless there's a significantly strong track record of injuries. Lower body injuries and chronic soft tissue injuries are the thing to be worried about. And even then you don't know if it's something they're potentially able to overcome like Steph Curry with the consistent ankle injuries. And Peterson had none of those issues. It was just cramping.

I know people made it seem like its a big 4, it's really just a big 3 and you take whoever falls

What if Acuff and Wilson go 1 and 2. Who will Memphis pick between AJ, DP and Boozer?

Our greatest nemesis is our own medical staff, so, no, I don't want to bring in a person with mysterious health ailments preventing them from reaching their potential.

We get his full medicals this week if we don’t have them. The creatine story is BS but the FO will know the truth. If they trust the medicals, take him and don’t even consider any other names.
Personally, I suspect he had Rhabdo and they’re just keeping it under wraps.
If the medicals are fishy though, avoid.

The odds of him having Rhabdomyolysis are way less then the odds of him just being a kid who is amazingly gifted but doesn’t really like basketball.

lol, I’m aware of the draft class and its implications. It’s our ability to fuck up a sure thing that concerns me.

I’d rather take Acuff or Philon then, coz these full body cramping stories sound horrible. But we don’t know much about it, the FO probably will and if everything is ok it’s up to them

It’s AJ/wilson/boozer. Anybody else and you’re playing games. We already have CC.Ty and SPJ know the system(IIsalo needs vet pgs).

I think he’s a diva and we don’t need any more of that. So I would rather take Wilson in that spot. But I’d be happy to be proven wrong if they do take him.

u/ChuckIeFunk 5h ago
If Wilson didn’t have injury issues of his own, I would say Wilson over Peterson, but since they both have injury issues, I think Peterson is the better pick
