Personally, I feel like if I\u2019m the Wizards or the Jazz, I would want a playmaking wing or guard with that top pick, which is what you have in Darryn Peterson and AJ Dybantsa. Boozer does project to be a point-forward type in the NBA with his impressive skill set, but I\u2019m not sure he\u2019s the Jokic-level initiator that some are projecting.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">It\u2019s also the first change seeing Darryn Peterson go #1 in Salerno\u2019s mock. Darryn Peterson was considered by many to be the #1 pick going into this season, but we all know about the struggles to stay healthy and the cramping. If the medicals look good, it wouldn\u2019t be a surprise to see him go #1 given his elite talent.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Over at <a href=\"https:\/\/sportsbook.fanduel.com\/navigation\/nba?tab=nba-draft\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:FanDuel;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;FanDuel&quot;}\" class=\"link \">FanDuel<\/a>, the odds have not switched.
