Scores 28 points with two swats
Peterson popped off for 28 points (11-21 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds, two assists and two blocks over 27 minutes during Saturday's 103-102 Summer League overtime win over the Hawks.
Analysis
Peterson showed off his defensive hustle with a chase-down block early in the game, and he wasn't shy about asserting himself on offense. The No. 2 overall pick carved up the Hawks' defense with ease before icing the game with a clutch step-back three in the closing seconds of overtime. The rookie will look to build on the performance Monday against Memphis.
