The Washington Wizards chose BYU forward AJ Dybantsa as the top selection in the 2026 NBA Draft on Tuesday night. The Utah Jazz followed by taking Kansas guard Darryn Peterson at No. 2, and the Memphis Grizzlies picked Duke's Cameron Boozer third. The Chicago Bulls rounded out the top four with North Carolina forward Caleb Wilson.

With the 2026 NBA Draft set for Tuesday night, CBS Sports experts largely favor AJ Dybantsa as the No. 1 overall selection. A minority prefer Darryn Peterson for his two-way potential. The debate centers on ceiling, floor and fit for teams like the Washington Wizards.
