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 filled with “can’t-miss prospects,” Dybantsa stood out from the rest, as the 6-foot-9, 217-pound forward put on a show with the Cougars in his one and only collegiate season.
Dybantsa averaged 25.6 points, 6.8 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.1 steals per game while shooting 51 percent from the field for BYU. He became the fifth Division 1 player in the last 40 seasons to average at least 25 points while shooting 50 percent from the field in a single season.
