Even though he hasn’t played a single minute of college basketball just yet, AJ Dybantsa is considered to be either the best or the second-best player in the nation right now.
Some scouts even argued that he could’ve given Cooper Flagg a run for his money as the consensus first-overall pick in this year’s NBA Draft if he were eligible to declare.
That’s why he’s wasting no time in getting ready — and most likely only — season with the BYU Cougars by working out with Golden State Warriors star Jonathan Kuminga.

While Kuminga is also learning the ropes of the game and has yet to break out, holding his own with and against NBA-caliber competition will be huge for Dybantsa’s development.
His offensive versatility, size, handles, and three-level scoring are mesmerizing. And with an NBA-caliber program led by Kevin Young and some strong training sessions to bulk up and get stronger, it won’t be long before he takes the league by storm.
