Darryn Peterson to Pacers in Mock Draft Dybantsa to Kings

Jeremy Woo’s latest mock has Kansas freshman guard Darryn Peterson going No. 1 to the Indiana Pacers, BYU’s AJ Dybantsa No. 2 to Sacramento and Duke’s Cameron Boozer No. 3 to Atlanta. The top 10 skews young — eight freshmen — as conference play gives prospects fresh chances to raise or lower their 2026 draft stock. Merlin notes Peterson’s injury interruptions and his 32-point return in Big 12 play, Dybantsa’s nine-game streak of 20-plus while shooting over 50 percent, and Boozer’s near-23 and 9.5 line. Teams chasing upside mean performances and medical reports in the coming weeks will reshape the lottery more than early mock consensus.
