@benshawks08 this is a fantastic underexplored point: all season long many of assumed that the reason the team had no chemistry with DP was because they deferred to him and that time would solve this problem (if we were optimistic) or that DP was a prima donna, or everyone else on the team was a midmajor wuss and thats why the chemistry wasnt there (if we were not).
But maybe in actuality they were all worried for the kid or weirded out by the situation. Maybe no amount of extra time on the court was going to fix it because the lack of an explanation hung over every play.
This makes way more sense than assuming there was something wrong with individual personalities regarding the lack of a cohesive team identity.

The NBA draft is just about here. I hope DP gets the team he really wants to play with. Tues 7pm eastern we will finally find out

Best wishes to Darryn for a great career with the Utah Jazz. I don't follow the NBA but I remember Greg Ostertag (now Mayor Ostertage) playing there.

Wish darryn ended up in a better market. Think he will be gone before the end of his second contract(out of choice to him, not because of his play). But wish him the best

Darryn Peterson's Summer League debut did not disappoint

His 28 points were the third most by a Top-2 pick over the last 10 seasons, and the most in their SL debut over that span. -
I watched, he was smooth
