AJ Dybantsa Overtakes Darryn Peterson For NBA Draft No 1

Jeremy Woo bumped BYU wing AJ Dybantsa to No. 1 on his latest draft big board, leapfrogging Kansas sharpshooter Darryn Peterson and Duke big man Cameron Boozer. Woo wrote that Dybantsa "has positioned himself as the easiest answer at No. 1," and Jonathan Wasserman highlighted a 60.0 true shooting percentage and second‑half tape that shows he can carry a team. With the draft on June 25, the order can shift, but Dybantsa has pulled ahead in the debate. Merlin sees a prospect whose scoring and two‑way promise appeal to teams seeking a foundational wing. Fit, workouts and late evaluations will still shape the story, yet Dybantsa’s blend of production and upside gives him the aura of a safe top pick rather than a boom or bust gamble.
