AJ Dybantsa
R1 #1
AJ Dybantsa is the consensus #1 overall target on most 2026 NBA Draft boards.
As a BYU freshman he averaged 25.5 points, 6.8 rebounds, 3.7 assists across 35 games.
ESPN's Jonathan Givony has him atop the board, noting he proved capable of carrying a
significant offensive workload with real growth as a decision-maker. 6-9 wing with a
roughly 7-0 wingspan — scouts most commonly project him as a star wing scorer with the
capacity to drive winning on both ends. Areas to develop: ballhandling against pressure,
perimeter shot consistency, and individual defense. Comparisons range from Paul George to
Jayson Tatum at the high end. Projected #1 to the Washington Wizards pending May 10 lottery.
