Jazz owner says everything on table for trading up in 2026 NBA Draft

Utah Jazz owner Ryan Smith said the team is open to any move, including a potential trade up to the No. 1 pick, to land BYU wing AJ Dybantsa in the upcoming NBA Draft.

Smith spoke days after the Jazz secured the No. 2 pick in the draft lottery. He told the Deseret News that the organization is focused on winning a championship and that all options remain under consideration. Smith added that executives Austin and Danny Ainge have a history of bold draft-night moves, though he noted the Jazz do not control whether a deal with the Washington Wizards materializes.

The Washington Wizards secured the No. 1 pick in the 2026 NBA Draft Lottery on Sunday. The Utah Jazz, Memphis Grizzlies, Chicago Bulls and Los Angeles Clippers followed in the top five. The results set the stage for potential blockbuster trades involving veterans like Anthony Davis and Kawhi Leonard.

BYU forward AJ Dybantsa announced Thursday that he is entering the 2026 NBA Draft, where he is projected as the potential No. 1 overall pick. The 6-foot-9 standout led the nation in scoring during his lone college season with averages of 25.5 points, 6.8 rebounds and 3.7 assists. He departs after helping the Cougars to a 23-12 record and an NCAA Tournament appearance.

As the college basketball season nears its end, CBS Sports has released a mock draft for the 2026 NBA Draft, projecting BYU's AJ Dybantsa as the No. 1 overall pick. The draft class is described as one of the strongest in recent years, particularly at the top with talents like Duke's Cameron Boozer and Kansas' Darryn Peterson. Dybantsa edges out the competition due to his national-leading scoring and star potential.

The Milwaukee Bucks are actively seeking trade offers for star forward Giannis Antetokounmpo. Reports indicate the team aims to resolve his future by the NBA Draft following an extension deadline in October. Potential destinations now favor Eastern Conference contenders capable of immediate title contention.
