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.
