Mock drafts project AJ Dybantsa to Wizards at No. 1

The 2026 NBA Draft is less than a week away, and mock drafts continue to highlight top prospects for the early selections.

Washington Wizards are widely expected to select BYU forward AJ Dybantsa with the first overall pick. Dybantsa averaged over 25 points per game last season and is viewed as the player with the highest ceiling in the class.

Utah Jazz hold the second pick, where one mock draft projects Duke's Cameron Boozer to be selected ahead of Darryn Peterson. Boozer posted one of the most productive college seasons in recent history.

Memphis Grizzlies at No. 3 are projected in one analysis to take Peterson if he falls, while Chicago Bulls at No. 4 are favored to draft North Carolina forward Caleb Wilson. Later picks in the top 10 include projections for Mikel Brown Jr. to the Clippers and Darius Acuff Jr. to the Kings.
