The Utah Jazz selected Kansas guard Darryn Peterson with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft, adding one of the class’s most highly regarded prospects to their roster.
Peterson had been considered a potential candidate to go first overall, but ultimately came off the board with the second pick. His selection gives Utah a prominent backcourt addition as the franchise continues to build through the draft.
The pick marks a major step for Peterson, who entered the draft after his time at Kansas and now begins his NBA career with the Jazz.
