Dybantsa's NBA Decision Looms After NCAA Exit
About this episode
BYUs freshman sensation AJ Dybantsa wrapped up his college debut season with a tough first-round exit in the NCAA Tournament. Despite his impressive thirty-five-point performance against Texas, the Cougars lost seventy-nine to seventy-one. Texas controlled the game with forty rebounds to BYUs thirty-one and key stops late. Dybantsa, an eighteen-year-old six-foot-nine forward, now faces big decisions as a projected top-five pick in the 2026 NBA Draft. Hell discuss his future with his family, leaning on his moms advice, and an official word should come within a couple of weeks. Given his dominant stats, most expect him to go pro soon and light up the league.
