As expected, the Washington Wizards began the 2026 NBA Draft by selecting BYU’s AJ Dybantsa with the first overall pick.
In a draft class loaded with “can’t-miss prospects,” Dybantsa stood out above the rest, as the 6-foot-9, 217-pound forward put on a show for the Cougars in his only collegiate season.
Dybantsa averaged 25.6 points, 6.8 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.1 steals per game while shooting 51% from the field for BYU. He became the fifth Division 1 player in the last 40 seasons to average at least 25 points and shoot 50% from the field in a single season.
This is breaking news. More to come…
