Washington Wizards Why AJ Dybantsa Is the Ideal No. 1 Pick for the Wizards
The Washington Wizards brought in BYU wing AJ Dybantsa for a pre-draft meeting as the 6-foot-9 freshman strengthens his position as the favorite to go first overall in the June 2026 NBA Draft. Dybantsa led the NCAA in scoring last season at 25.5 points per game while adding 6.8 rebounds and 3.7 assists on 51 percent shooting from the field and 60 percent true shooting. After winning the lottery with 14 percent odds and finishing the 2025-26 season at 17-65, Washington now has the chance to add a dynamic scorer who has openly expressed confidence he will hear his name called first on draft night.
