It goes a bit further than that than Wall saying that Peterson should go No. 1 and former Brigham Young star AJ Dybantsa going No. 2 to the Utah Jazz.

Peterson is going “all in” on the Wizards himself. He reportedly visited the Wizards recently for extended workouts and decided not to visit the Jazz for the same thing. It’s a high risk high reward move for sure.
