Darryn Peterson went crazy in his Jazz Summer League debut. 28 points, five rebounds, 11 of 21, 4 of 7 from the three. Joe, did the Jazz hit the lotto with the Peterson or is it just Summer League?

**Joe Johnson** (3:04)
No, they got a great pick on Ocho. I think Darryn Peterson obviously, he's been criticized because of the cramping thing, taking themselves out of the game, only playing 23, 25 games of college. But listening to this young man talk, Ocho, he's here to prove people wrong. I watched him play today, man. I'm talking about the poise and patience that the young man plays with. Obviously, we know how gifted he is athletically, but how he plays in between the three-point line and the rim, middies, getting to the basket, shooting the three, defending at a high level. The sky's the limit for this kid, bro. He look good today.
He probably, when you think about it, okay, Ocho, he probably put on the best performance today out of all the rookies. No doubt.

I think the thing is, sometimes you stumble into a situation because it would have been very, very interesting had Utah had the number one pick. Do they go, you know where they go? Take the Bonzer or do they take Darryn Peterson? Because they took, the Wizards took the guesswork out of their hands. You have no choice.
You have no choice. See, I need to have you, I need to put you into a dilemma where it's two dilemmas. Webster defined dilemma as two equally pre-precise situations.

**Joe Johnson** (4:26)
Yeah.

**Shannon Sharpe** (4:26)
You get hit by a dump truck or you get hit by a Mack truck, both going 55 miles an hour.

**Joe Johnson** (4:32)
Yeah.

**Shannon Sharpe** (4:33)
The situation is going to change. Now, I need Utah to be in a situation where they have the first pick. Now, we'll see. Are we taking the Bonzer who went to prep school here, who went to college here, or are we taking Darryn Peterson? We know he's a known bucket. We know he's elite. He just had some issues that caused us to pause.
