Darryn Peterson Set to Form Utah Jazz Backcourt Core With Keyonte George

No. 2 overall draft pick Darryn Peterson is slated to form Utah's backcourt of the future alongside Keyonte George, who just locked in a five-year, $157.5 million contract extension. Peterson displayed strong star potential during his appearances at the Salt Lake City and Las Vegas Summer Leagues. How Peterson and fellow ball-handler George mesh under head coach Will Hardy will be a primary storyline for the Jazz alongside Lauri Markkanen, Ace Bailey, and Jaren Jackson Jr.
