"L.J." Peak made an impact when arriving to Georgetown in the fall of 2014, but his departure was a quieter one, echoing the end of the John Thompson III era.

Peak was a native of Gaffney, SC, well known to travelers as the home of a 135 foot water tower along Interstate 95 that looks like a giant peach. Two years on the Gaffney varsity were matched with his junior year in Chicago, which elevated his national standing while playing at Whitney Young HS, which included 6-11 Jahlil Okafor, the nation's top high school recruit, and 6-7 Paul White, a future teammate at Georgetown. Returning home to Gaffney as a senior, Peak averaged 38 points per game, the highest average for a Georgetown recruit since David Edwards in 1988-89. For his efforts, peak was named as the 2014 "Mr. basketball" for South Carolina.

Arriving to Georgetown that fall, Peak did not disappoint in his collegiate debut, shooting 9 for 9 and scoring 23 in the Hoyas' 83-62 win over St. Francis (NY). Peak's next game, a 3 for 10 output in a win over Texas A&M Corpus-Christi, foretold a learning curve as a freshman, where he finished fourth in scoring but averaged just 39 percent from the field and 24 percent from three.

Following an NCAA bid in 2015, the 2015-16 Hoyas were a major disappointment. Picked second in the pre-season Big East polls, Peak and senior D'Vauntes Smith-Rivera and Peak were the only consistent options for a Georgetown team that suffered its worst season in 44 years. Peak improved his scoring to a 49 percent average and led the team in scoring in seven games, with a 31 point effort in the season finale versus top-seeded Villanova.

Peak's junior season was a repeat of his fortunes in 2015-16. He started all 32 games that season, leing the team in scoring over 15 games, with a season high 24 in the Hoyas' season finale versus St. John's Big East tournament. Peak's leadership was not enough, as it became clear that Peak and graduate transfer Rodney Pryor were the only options in another 18 loss season under John Thompson III. On March 21, 2017, Peak declared for the NBA draft. Three days later, his coach was fired.

Undrafted in the NBA for a perceived lack of ball-handling skills, Peak moved into the NBA developmental league for a season, and is now playing in New Zealand.
