UTA Guard

Player Stats

Jazz selected Darryn Peterson with the No. 2 pick in the NBA Draft.

Due to health issues throughout the season, Peterson had some questions to answer during the pre-draft prospects. However, whatever concerns there may be, the former Kansas guard is still viewed as one of the best players in this class, regardless of position. In 24 appearances, Peterson averaged 20.2 points, 4.2 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1.4 steals and 2.6 three-pointers, shooting 43.8 percent from the field and 82.6 percent from the field. Where he needs to improve is setting up others, as Peterson finished the year with 38 assists and 38 turnovers. Even with Keyonte George coming off the best season of his NBA career and Isaiah Collier providing depth off the bench, Peterson’s scoring ability will get him plenty of opportunities to contribute immediately in Utah.

Lauri Markkanen

UTA Forward-Center #23

ESPN’s Shams Charania reports Lauri Markkanen (wrist) will be sidelined for at least one month.

Markkanen has already missed two games, but it is now being reported that he has a non-displaced fracture in his right hand. It will likely be mid-December before Markkanen suits up again. Josh Green has been filling in as a starter, though it will be Darryn Peterson and Ace Bailey that make up the extra usage.
Darryn Peterson

UTA Guard #22

Darryn Peterson finished Tuesday’s loss to the Heat with 25 points (10-of-19 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), four rebounds, four assists, one steal and four three-pointers.

With no Keyonte George, Peterson made his first start at point guard for the Jazz on Tuesday. While he committed five turnovers and ultimately fouled out, this was a good night overall for the rookie. Peterson scored efficiently and dished out a few assists in his 31 minutes. His fantasy ceiling should be raised slightly for as long as George remains sidelined.
Josh Okogie

UTA Guard #21

Darryn Peterson, Josh Okogie, Josh Green, Ace Bailey and Jaxson Hayes will start Tuesday’s game against the Heat.

With Keyonte George (ankle) sidelined, the Jazz are shifting Peterson into the starting point guard role. That should raise his ceiling considerably. Replacing George in the starting lineup is Okogie, who will be more valuable to the Jazz than to fantasy managers.
Keyonte George

UTA Guard #3

Keyonte George (ankle) is out for Tuesday’s game against the Heat.

George sprained his right ankle during Sunday’s loss to the Timberwolves and did not return. His absence means the Jazz will have to rely more on Darryn Peterson and Isaiah Collier.
Darryn Peterson

UTA Guard #22

Darryn Peterson exploded for a season-high 26 points (11-of-21 FGs), six rebounds, four assists and one steal over 35 minutes in Sunday’s loss to the Timberwolves.

Peterson, the second-overall pick from last year’s NBA Draft, shot 50 percent from three-point range, burying a season-high four triples in his best offensive performance of his young career. The 19-year-old prodigy possesses a virtually unlimited ceiling from a talent standpoint, but fantasy managers should expect some inconsistency as he acclimates to playing at the highest level. It’s worth noting that he could see an uptick in usage if Keyonte George winds up missing time after exiting this contest with a right ankle injury. The Jazz have lost eight consecutive games and are just 1-9 overall this season. They have a four-game week on tap that features challenging showdowns against the Heat, Magic, Rockets and Spurs.
Keyonte George

UTA Guard #3

Keyonte George (ankle) will not return to Sunday’s game against the Timberwolves.

George sprained his right ankle early in the third quarter and has since returned to the locker room. With their starting point guard done for the night, the Jazz will rely more on Isaiah Collier and Darryn Peterson.
Keyonte George

UTA Guard #3

Keyonte George (illness) is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Timberwolves.

George is now questionable after not appearing on Utah’s initial injury report. If he can’t play, Isaiah Collier and Darryn Peterson stand to gain the most in playmaking responsibilities.
Darryn Peterson

UTA Guard #22

Darryn Peterson filled up the stat sheet with 21 points (6-of-12 FGs, 6-of-6 FTs), two rebounds, five assists, two steals, three blocks, and three 3-pointers on Friday.

Peterson got more aggressive in the second half, and the offense started to get going again in the second half because of him. This is the type of game that people were hoping for when the Jazz drafted him 2^nd overall in last year’s draft. He looked more confident and got to the line for six free throws. Granted, four of them were because the Jazz were in the bonus, but its still good to see the defensive stats in this game.
Darryn Peterson

UTA Guard #22

Darryn Peterson had 7 points (2-of-8 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), two rebounds, and seven assists on Wednesday against the Pelicans.

While this wasn’t an amazing game from Darryn Peterson, he is getting prioritized more. The main difference now is that he’s now running as the backup point guard instead of Isaiah Collier which has really helped Darryn’s assist numbers. This is great for Darryn in dynasty if you have him, because that is the skill that he needs to work on for him to develop into a high-level fantasy player. In redraft leagues, he’s worth a stream if you’re looking for points and some assists, but not more than that.
Darryn Peterson

UTA Guard #22

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.

Ja’Kobe Walter scores 17 points (5-of-11 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), three rebounds, an assist, two steals, and five 3-pointers in the loss to the Celtics.

Walter got going early in the first quarter which helped the Raptors stay in the game in the first half. He led the team in scoring in this game which goes to show the offensive woes of the Raptors in this game. He also led the team in minutes with 35 of them. Overall, it was a bad game from the Raptors where they couldn’t even get offense from RJ Barrett. Solid game but Walter isn’t more than just a streamer.

Neemias Queta with 11 points (2-of-4 FGs, 6-of-8 FTs), 13 rebounds, three assists, a steal, three blocks, a three, and five turnovers against the Raptors.

Neemias Queta led the team with a +27 in this game which helps shows the impact he had on this game. He was active on defense and active on the boards. You don’t love the five turnovers, but the 30 minutes of play is very nice. He even hit a three which is something you don’t expect from him. He won’t do this every game and sometimes, they’ll go to Mitchell Robinson, but he was great in this one.

Derrick White had 19 points (7-of-15 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), a rebound, seven assists, a steal, four blocks and three 3-pointers in the win over the Raptors.

One of the big reasons why you have Derrick White on your fantasy team is for the blocks, and he got you four of them today. White hasn’t exactly been what you would want from the scoring department this season, but its hard to complain about this performance. White is 32 years old, so the decline is relatively expected.

Caleb Wilson will not return to Wednesday’s game against the Spurs.

Wilson, who was a game-time call for Wednesday due to a right hip injury, exited during the third quarter with an apparent right hand injury. Patrick Williams replaced Wilson at the time of the injury and could find himself back in the rotation if the rookie misses time. Wilson finished with 15 points, five rebounds, one steal and two three-pointers.

Jayson Tatum scored 24 points (6-of-21 FGs, 10-of-12 FTs), seven rebounds, eight assists, two blocks, and two 3-pointers in the 98-93 win over the Raptors.

With no Paul George, Tatum had to take the shots and carry the Celtics in their offense. From a fantasy manager’s perspective, it’s hard to complain about how good he’s been this season. It hasn’t looked like his Achilles injury has impacted him that much and he’s continuing to lead the Celtics to wins. While the efficiency wasn’t good in this game, he’ll bounce back and have better shooting games.

Jarrett Allen tallied 11 points (4-of-7 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), 14 rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block in Wednesday’s win over the Knicks.

Limited to 19 minutes in Monday’s loss to the Hornets in his first game back from a knee injury, Allen played 32 minutes against the Knicks. The Cavaliers center recorded his second double-double of the season, with the 14 rebounds representing a new season high. Allen may not offer as high a fantasy ceiling as Evan Mobley (7/5/4 with four blocks and two three-pointers), but his floor makes him a must-roster player in all leagues.
