Declares for NBA Draft Peterson has declared for the 2026 NBA Draft, according to The Field of 68.

Impact Having enrolled at Kansas as the 2025 Jayhawks' top recruit in their freshman class, Peterson subsequently forgoing three years of collegiate eligibility after his first season comes as no surprise. It was not a smooth transition for the 6-foot-6, 205-pound guard though, as lower-body injuries rendered him out for nine of KU's 13 non-conference games. But between the 2025-26 Jayhawks' conference matchups and the 2026 NCAA tournament, he was mostly healthy, logging just two DNPs in a 22-game span. It saw Peterson prove his worth by averaging 20.4 points (on 42.2/37.4/83.2 shooting splits) to go with 4.3 rebounds, 2.6 three-pointers made, 1.4 assists and 1.4 steals, good enough for All-Big 12 Second Team honors and a second-round advancement into the Big Dance. While future availability is cause for concern, Peterson remains one of the draft's best prospects nonetheless, a quality talent with potential to be a top-three selection.

Alpha performance Peterson contributed 28 points (11-24 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, one assist and two steals over 37 minutes during Friday's 68-60 victory over California Baptist.

Impact Peterson drained four from downtown and tallied 28 points to lead the Jayhawks as they held off a furious rally by the Lancers. Peterson was the clear alpha on Friday for Kansas, more than doubling the team's next highest scorer, though it wasn't his most efficient performance as he took a season-high 24 shots during the win. The highly-touted freshman has topped 20 points in four of his last six games and is averaging 22.0 points, 5.5 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 2.5 steals during that stretch.
