NEW YORK (AP) --- The Washington Wizards selected forward AJ Dybantsa, who led
the nation in scoring in his one season at BYU, with the No. 1 pick in the NBA
draft on Tuesday night.
Dybantsa averaged 25.5 points, highlighted by a 43-point effort that broke
BYU's freshman scoring record.
At 6-foot-9 and 217 pounds, Dybantsa has drawn comparisons to Kevin Durant, who
happens to be his favorite player. Durant grew up in the Washington area, and
Wizards fans can only hope Dybantsa can live up to the comparisons.
