My Take
AJ Dybantsa is one of those once-in-a-generation prospects you just can't stop watching — the kind of player who makes every highlight reel look routine. Born in Boston in 2007 (yes, 2007), he came in as the consensus number one recruit in the 2025 class, and the hype was fully justified. His one season at BYU showed a ridiculous combination of size, ball-handling, and basketball IQ that you simply don't see in freshmen. The fact that a kid who grew up rooting for Boston teams ended up playing college ball in Provo, Utah feels like a fun wrinkle in what's shaping up to be a very long and very entertaining career to follow.
