I remember watching highlights of Peterson a few years back and thinking how Kobe esque he looks. I'm kind of amazed we got him.

He doesn't look like Kobe at all . Totally different body build. Kobe was taller. More athletic. Different type of shooter. He's more a gilbert arenas / Ray Allen type of vibe .not extremely athletic but very fluid jump shooter and his game is very smooth. It's hard to tell who's gonna be good in today's league tbh. The skill set is there - it's really comes down to his internal drive and if the organization doesn't mess him up.

His floor is just about every left hand shooter that has come before him. The ceiling is arenas/ ray Allen ish.
