According to a report from Hoops Wire, the Washington Wizards appear to be focusing on prep standout AJ Dybantsa as their preferred choice for the first overall selection in the next NBA Draft.
The outlet indicated that the Wizards’ front office is “zeroing in” on Dybantsa, signaling early momentum toward making the versatile forward the top pick. No additional details on workouts, interviews, or competing prospects were disclosed.
The Wizards finished last season with one of the league’s poorest records, positioning the franchise near the top of the draft order. Lottery results will ultimately confirm whether Washington secures the No. 1 pick and the opportunity to select Dybantsa.
Should the organization retain the top spot, the decision would mark the second time in franchise history that Washington selects first overall. The only previous instance came in 2001, when the team drafted Kwame Brown.
