AJ Dybantsa
After watching Peterson light it up in Summer League so far, AJ showed out. He showed off his expertise in drawing fouls, solid ballhandling, and solid passing vision. We all know AJ can get it done as a scorer, but seeing some of his upside traits pop is exciting.
If AJ can keep up this foul drawing and high volume shot creation, he can be a great dynasty asset. He might only be truly elite in a few categories, but his long term value as a scorer will keep him relevant.
Stats last night: 27 Points, 7-18 FGs, 7 Rebounds, 2 Steals, 1 Block

Darryn Peterson
He had a very rough first quarter, but turned it around a bit throughout the game. The efficiency was not great, but the tough shot making ability showed itself more than once. Peterson’s biggest swing skill is his playmaking, and he continues to show upside flashes this summer. Part of it is his extremely high on-ball usage, but the vision is clearly there.
If Darryn hits his high-end outcomes, he can realistically become a top 10 dynasty asset in short order. Keep an eye on his role to start the season, because there is no ceiling on his game. His turnovers have been rough, which is worth monitoring.

Morez Johnson Jr.
Morez Made his Summer League debut and showed out. He put up huge numbers on great efficiency. Even more impressive, he looked great as a defensive playmaker, and showed the motor that everyone was high on predraft.
He picked up some competition for opportunity after the draft in Santi Aldama. However, Dusty May helped to decide on drafting Morez for a reason. Long term, he is one of the better players in a potentially generational class… This game just helped us visualize it.
