"Just a decision that was made," said Darryn Peterson, Draft Prospect.
Peterson clarified that he held meetings with the Jazz, which holds the No. 2 overall selection, characterizing the interaction as a combine-style interview rather than an active court session.
"I'm definitely not dodging any team. Whoever takes me, I'm going to come in and be delighted to be there.
Wherever that happens to be, they'll get the best me," said Darryn Peterson, Draft Prospect.
Meanwhile, Illinois guard Keaton Wagler confirmed the cancellation of his workout with the Brooklyn Nets due to expectations of being selected within the top five draft positions.
"I already worked out for the Bulls, and I was going to the Clippers. That's four and five," said Keaton Wagler, Draft Prospect.
Wagler noted that he continues to communicate and meet with various franchises despite adjusting his workout itinerary.
"Hearing from them and knowing where I stood, I knew I didn't need to work out for [the Nets].
