With the NBA Draft Lottery order now final, all the speculation on where players might land has ramped up. The Washington Wizards are said to be eyeing AJ Dybantsa at No. 1, along with the Utah Jazz taking Darryn Peterson at No. 2, and Cameron Boozer to the Memphis Grizzlies at No.3.
However, there's a ton of rumors flying around about Dybantsa not being a lock for the top pick. Over the start of the NBA Draft Combine, all 30 NBA teams are on hand with the players and scouts gathering intel from each other. This has led to asking which direction Washington will go in on draft night.
"We were surprised the broadcast made it seem like such a foregone conclusion," an NBA scout told CBS Sports about Dybantsa going No. 1 overall.
This is no surprise considering the Jazz are at No. 2. Dybantsa shined at BYU and has become fond of the atmosphere in the Beehive State.
