Kansas’ Darryn Peterson gets ‘serial killer’ declaration from CJ McCollum

Kansas star Darryn Peterson captivated the basketball world during the first half of Saturday’s 90-82 win versus AJ Dybantsa and BYU, pummeling the Cougars on both ends of the floor. He displayed his smooth brand of offense and also recorded three steals on defense, further solidifying himself as a top-two pick in the 2026 NBA Draft. Many people believe he is the clear-cut best prospect in what is being heralded as a generational class. You can add CJ McCollum to that group.

The veteran guard extolled his fellow Canton, Ohio native. “Go to work DP,” he posted on X. “They ain’t got nothing for you.”

He continued to praise Peterson throughout the Big 12 clash. “it’s just different. He the 1 not the 2. Straight face killa. The work is real !!” McCollum does not think the freshman sensation is just any “killa,” however.

“He’s a serial Killer Nate,” the 2015-16 Most Improved Player of the Year said in response to NBA agent Nate Jones. “You know I played with one so I know them well lol ! 330 baby.”
