What is going on with Darryn Peterson ?

[STEVEHOLT]

The guy is skipping games. Pulling himself from games. Coach Self doesn’t even seem to know what’s going on with his “availability”. This is an unintended consequence of NIL. A guy who has no desire to play college ball but is just doing it for the money. Dude is already pulling kawhis

He should be in the NBA. I’m really curious to see what happens in March. So good and clearly a top 3 pick.

It’s frustrating all around.

I thought he’s just had some bad luck with cramps and injuries, but yeah, just read this article earlier today. I think the issues he has had are legit, but he’s not taking any chances that would risk his draft stock. Does sound like even Self is getting frustrated.

Darryn Peterson's latest exit borders on indefensible as star proves hindrance to Kansas' national title hopes

Peterson checked out with 17:22 remaining Wednesday vs. Oklahoma State and failed to finish yet another game

Nahh, scouts aren’t dumb. They know that the goal is the NBA and when you’re a consensus top 5 pick it’s all about preservation. Frankly, he’s probably one of the smart ones. Yeah hell get crap for this but he doesn’t have anything left to prove
