Wizards Draft AJ Dybantsa at #1

The Washington Wizards just made NBA history by selecting AJ Dybantsa with the No. 1 pick in the 2026 Draft — the highest ever from BYU — after years of rebuilding and draft missteps.

With elite versatility and jaw-dropping performances — including a 40-point game — he’s poised to be the cornerstone of a new era in D.C., even after a fierce battle with Darryn Peterson for the top spot.
