Darry Peterson recorded 16 points (6-of-15 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), four rebounds, four assists, one steal, one block and three three-pointers in Saturday’s loss to the Trail Blazers.
Peterson has scored in double figures in each of Utah’s last three games. Against the Trail Blazers, he wasn’t at his best, committing three turnovers, but the rookie guard still finished with a full stat line. Peterson played the entire fourth quarter, sharing the court with Keyonte George (8/3/4/1) for seven minutes and Isaiah Collier (8/1/4/2) for the other five. According to Cleaning the Glass, Peterson has played 90% of his minutes at shooting guard thus far. That split appears unlikely to change anytime soon, which may lower his fantasy ceiling.
