The BYU Cougars will be one of the most-talked-about teams in all of college basketball next season. That’s the kind of effect that landing a higher-echelon recruit can have on a program.
AJ Dybantsa will turn a lot of heads from day one, as he’s projected to be the first-overall pick in next year’s NBA Draft, and some think he could’ve even earned that distinction this season.
Dybtansa is a polished player who can do a little bit of everything. And according to coach Kevin Young, it seems like he’s been hitting some shots from behind a four-point line.

“[AJ] loves that four-point line, even when he came on the visit,” Young shared. “That’s something that dates back to my time with the 76ers. That was something Brett Brown, who was the head coach, implemented and the NBA started to do it. It’s more of a spacing cue for us — just trying to give ourselves as much space as we can.”

In today’s positionless basketball era, everybody will be asked to step up to the perimeter and knock down shots from deep, and it’s smart of Dybantsa to try and get used to the NBA range.
