The Utah Jazz just had one of the best drafts in team history, and will come into this season with Darryn Peterson. He’s the best prospect to be drafted by the Jazz in team history, considering how high he was projected to go.

The question for the Jazz this upcoming season is, should he start or come off the bench? In some ways, the question will be: is he so talented that it outdoes the lack of NBA experience? It’s going to be fascinating to see just how it pans out.

(Note: I had to prepare this before the draft, and I wasn’t 100% who the Jazz would draft, that’s why it also mentions AJ Dybantsa.)
