I’m not sure I can come up with a comp for him. He’s like a hybrid Kirilenko/Sengun mashup (two white guys!) with an American game.

Rashard Lewis is what comes to mind. Rashard wasn't creating offense for others but that's largely because guys like him weren't doing that then. I think Cooper has more dog, too.

I used to love Rashad Lewis, picked him up on my fantasy team when he had his breakout year. Was a fan ever since. He was smooth, if that makes sense

AJ Dybantsa > Peterson

This is so easy for me. I honestly can't believe that Peterson would go 1st, but I admit I haven't watched them that much.

- Peterson has amazing scoring stats. Some of the best I've ever seen from a freshman. But 2.2 assists per 40 minutes is a big red flag. The ease at which he scores is very compelling.
- AJ has scoring stats that are almost as good. Not quite as good at 3p shooting, but overall pretty close, and he draws fouls at a higher rate. 2x the assist rate of DP.
- AJ is a bigger body, and an all-purpose F is usually more valuable than a scoring wing.
- AJ is available, no question marks there.
- Other good character things I see with AJ, where that is unknown and uncertain with DP

Petersen should've just pulled a Shaeden Sharpe and said he has been injured all season.. worked for Sharpe at Kentucky and still earned NIL money...

Did it work out for him? I think if we saw him play freshman year, he would have been 4th in that draft. He was immediately seen as a high ceiling player his rookie year. He should've shown that off in college.

4th overall would have sent him to Sacramento...

In the end, Sharpe's really not that great of a player. He's not a playmaker. He doesn't draw enough fouls. I don't like his hustle stats. He's still on track to be a good player, and might be a great scorer someday, but most likely he's going to be over-priced talent.
