It’s time to RUN with the rooks!
Coming off their sizzling Summer League debuts, the top 3 picks of this year’s draft, A.J. Dybantsa of the Washington Wizards, Darryn Peterson of the Utah Jazz and Cameron Boozer of the Memphis Grizzlies, are joining NBA THE RUN in our next game update, Tuesday, July 21. Check out a short mixtape to see them in action:
A.J. Dybantsa has the size, athleticism, and complete offensive game to score from anywhere.
Zone Ability - Going Off (increased offensive ratings for shots, dunks, handles, passes).
Darryn Peterson is cool under pressure, with effortless range and smooth handles.
Zone Ability - Deep Threat (reduced distance and guard penalty when shooting)
Cameron Boozer has the rare combination of power, pure shooting and elite court vision.
Zone Ability - Dropping Dimes (increase to passes rating and speed, receiving player gets a boost to their shots rating)
