AJ Dybantsa
- Age
- 19
Ignore his worst category (field-goal %) and he's worth -0.12.
The No. 1 pick lands on the board immediately — a rebuilding Washington roster hands him a 33-minute runway from opening night, and our college-playstyle translation likes the shape: a 33.5-usage freshman year at BYU converts to nearly 19 a night with 6 boards, some threes and playmaking. The rookie tax is efficiency — .46 from the floor and a .77 line are priced in, and rookie percentages usually get worse before they get better. Draft him for points, boards and the runway, not for a polished 9-cat line — and remember rookies are the least reliable projection class on this board; the range around this rank is wide in both directions.
AJ Dybantsa enters 2026-27 at #82 on our board — Round 7 value in a standard 12-team draft, projected for 18.6 points, 6.0 rebounds and 3.7 assists in 32.9 minutes a night. The value is built on scoring and threes, with field-goal percentage the soft spot in the profile. He's a natural fit for punt-field-goal percentage builds — take that category out of the equation and his value climbs. Availability helps the case: we project about 66 games.
