BY ALEJANDRO LOPEZ
The 2026 NBA Draft will be full of difficult decisions for NBA teams as it is poised to be one of the best and deepest drafts in a long time. ESPN has a new prospect going first in the draft.
AJ Dybantsa overtook Darryn Peterson for the No. 1 spot in Jeremy Woo‘s big board.
Dybantsa averaged 25.5 points, 6.8 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game for BYU on his way to a historic freshman season for the program.
Peterson came into the college season as many analysts’s No. 1 prospect but injuries kept him sidelined throughout the season.
The top five in Woo’s big board are as follows:
No. 1 AJ Dybantsa
No. 2 Darryn Peterson
No. 3 Cam Boozer
No. 4 Caleb Wilson
No. 5 Keaton Wagler
The freshmen class has dominated this college season and are poised to dominate the 2026 NBA Draft.
