BYU's AJ Dybantsa, Duke's Cameron Boozer, UNC's Caleb Wilson Headline Forwards in NBA Draft
The projected No. 1 pick is drawing interest from both teams as they weigh fit and draft-night options, according to ESPN and The Athletic.
- On Wednesday, former BYU star AJ Dybantsa expressed confidence he will be the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft, though he acknowledged uncertainty surrounding the event at Barclays Center in Brooklyn on June 23.
- ESPN's Brian Windhorst reported that Ace Dybantsa, the prospect's father, shared a photograph featuring both Washington Wizards and Utah Jazz T-shirts, signaling strong interest from both franchises.
- The Utah Jazz are "genuinely torn" between Dybantsa, national collegiate player of the year Cameron Boozer, and Kansas guard Darryn Peterson, who has limited pre-draft workouts exclusively to the Wizards.
- "You never want to just be too stuck on just on going to visit one team," Dybantsa explained, emphasizing that visiting various organizations allows prospects to better evaluate franchise offerings.
- Washington's front office plans to delay their final decision until just before the draft begins, while Utah must make an immediate choice once officially on the clock.
