Quimari Peterson brings disruptive defense and steady two-way guard play to Washington
Peterson is a high-motor, veteran guard whose calling card is defense: he ranked sixth in the Big Ten with 44 steals while appearing in all 33 games and making 18 starts for Washington in 2025-26. He also chips in usable backcourt production with 9.2 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game, and his shooting can swing hot in spurts. The fit is strongest for teams wanting an intense, experienced guard who can pressure the ball, create turnovers and bring toughness; the main question is whether his streaky efficiency can rise enough to make him a more reliable offensive piece.[4][2][6]
