Why would they do such a thing? Essentially, the mind games from the BYU fans and the Utah Jazz front office will now begin, as they look to try to convince the Wizards to not select Dybantsa with the top overall pick. Part of this ploy on their end is to convince everyone they know that they now suddenly think Peterson is the better prospect.

Funny enough, the argument is valid, because Peterson just might be. Bill Self added another forward to the team yesterday with the signing of Atticus Richmond: “Atticus is a youngster that has great size,” Self said. “He has some perimeter skills but mainly plays inside and will add depth to our big man positions.

He’s been extremely well coached and well drilled. I look at him as a Mitch Lightfoot type when Mitch was coming to us out of high school. ” Richmond is coming from a prep school in the northeast, lets see how he did in competition: Richmond (6-foot-8, 230 pounds) played last season at Newman School, a prep school in Boston.
