Summary
While Darryn Peterson steals the spotlight as a top-two draft pick, don’t overlook Melvin Council Jr. and Tre White—Kansas teammates quietly building NBA buzz with workouts for teams like the Suns, Pacers, Bucks, and Kings.

White, a consistent scorer and rebounder at 13.5 points and 6.7 rebounds, shot over 40% from three and brought the hustle fans loved. Both are primed for roles beyond the draft—whether NBA contracts, two-way deals, or G League stints—they’re ready to make their mark.
