With the NBA Draft Lottery in the books and the NBA Draft Combine in full force, it's officially rumor season. With the draft just over a month away, the next several weeks will be full of rumors, smokescreens, and pre-draft workouts that will offer a glimpse of how the first round of the draft will play out.
The hottest rumor in the league at the moment is whether the Washington Wizards will trade the No. 1 overall pick to the Utah Jazz, which would clear the way for Utah to select BYU wing AJ Dybantsa. Of course, Dybantsa has history in the state of Utah. He played his high school senior season at Utah Prep and had a standout one-and-done season at BYU.
Days after winning the No. 2 pick in the draft lottery, Jazz owner Ryan Smith said "everything should be on the table" when asked directly in an interview with the Deseret News if the organization would trade up to No. 1 to presumably select Dybantsa.
"We don't control that," Smith said. "We are trying to win a championship. So everything should be on the table. Austin and Danny (Ainge) have also been known to do some pretty crazy stuff on draft night."
