Darryn Peterson has visited the Washington Wizards, who hold the No. 1 pick in next week’s draft, and reportedly will not meet with any other teams.
ESPN reported Monday that the former Kansas guard does not plan to sit down with the Utah Jazz, who own the No. 2 slot, or any other clubs before the draft begins on June 23.
Peterson believes he is going to be the top pick, sources told ESPN, although most draft analysts have former BYU forward AJ Dybantsa going to the Wizards. Dybantsa has met with Washington and Utah.
The 6-foot-6 Peterson, 19, averaged 20.2 points and 4.2 rebounds in 24 games (23 starts) for the Jayhawks in 2025-26. He missed 11 games due to injuries and cramping issues.
The 6-foot-9 Dybantsa, 19, led the nation in scoring with 25.5 points per game and averaged 6.8 rebounds and 3.7 assists in 35 games (all starts) for the Cougars.
The Wizards finished 17-65 last season and have missed the playoffs in each of the past five campaigns. The Jazz are coming off a 22-60 season and have not been to the postseason since 2021-22.

PakarPBN
A Private Blog Network (PBN) is a collection of websites that are controlled by a single individual or organization and used primarily to build backlinks to a “money site” in order to influence its ranking in search engines such as Google. The core idea behind a PBN is based on the importance of backlinks in Google’s ranking algorithm. Since Google views backlinks as signals of authority and trust, some website owners attempt to artificially create these signals through a controlled network of sites.
In a typical PBN setup, the owner acquires expired or aged domains that already have existing authority, backlinks, and history. These domains are rebuilt with new content and hosted separately, often using different IP addresses, hosting providers, themes, and ownership details to make them appear unrelated. Within the content published on these sites, links are strategically placed that point to the main website the owner wants to rank higher. By doing this, the owner attempts to pass link equity (also known as “link juice”) from the PBN sites to the target website.
The purpose of a PBN is to give the impression that the target website is naturally earning links from multiple independent sources. If done effectively, this can temporarily improve keyword rankings, increase organic visibility, and drive more traffic from search results.
