@sltrib: Welcome to Salt Lake City, Darryn Peterson. The Utah Jazz selected the 6-foot-6 Kansas guard with the second pick in the NBA draft on Tuesday night, adding one of college basketball’s best scorers to a team ready to compete for the playoffs once again. “We’re so excited to add Darren,” Jazz President of Basketball Operations Austin Ainge said shortly after making the pick. “He’s a really talented player. He is a really hard worker. He’s got culture fit, talent fit, game fit with our organization, and we think he’ll be a huge part of us in the short term and the long term. ... Had a chance to talk to him a minute ago, and he’s super pumped.” 🔗: Read more at the link in our bio. (📹: Abigail Landwehr, Rick Egan and Sam Foster)
