Speculation is mounting ahead of the NBA draft lottery as teams evaluate top prospects including AJ Dybantsa, Cameron Boozer and Caleb Wilson. Analysts point to Dybantsa as the likely No. 1 pick while noting possible surprises in the top three selections.

However, questions remain about Darryn Peterson, who dealt with availability issues during his freshman season at Kansas. Teams like the Brooklyn Nets and Sacramento Kings could consider Peterson for his high-upside potential if they land the top pick.
