• Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green recently previewed the NBA Draft on his podcast, “The Draymond Green Show,” and in doing so spent some time evaluating former Duke star Cameron Boozer. When it got to Boozer, Green mentioned him alongside one of the greatest power forwards in NBA history. “Tim Duncan never had to blow you through the roof. Yet he was so great. He’s one of the greatest players we’ve ever seen,” said Green.

• There is a chance either Washington or Utah will call Boozer’s name before Peterson. Why? “Availability is your best ability,” Farnham said on First Take. “There’s nothing that I looked at over the course of the season at Kansas that would say, ‘Okay, I believe he can make it through 82 games.’ Jerry West said, ‘If you can’t play 30, how can you play 82?’ I think that’s the concern for Darryn Peterson. If Darryn Peterson didn’t have any health issues and was available all season long and had that quick-twitch that we saw him have at the high school level, then yes, I would agree that he is an elite-level prospect that can get his shot off at any spot,” the ESPN analyst added.
