Washington Wizards to host potential No. 1 pick AJ Dybantsa on a visit, as the team prepares for the 2026 NBA Draft. Dybantsa is one of the top prospects being considered by the Wizards. The visit is expected to take place in the next few days, perhaps as soon as Thursday. This is a huge moment for the franchise, as the Wizards have the first pick in the 2026 NBA Draft on June 23. Multiple league sources told The Athletic that the team will host Dybantsa for a visit with team officials in Washington. Dybantsa is a star freshman from BYU and is expected to be a top pick in the draft. He has been watching a young San Antonio Spurs team built by high draft picks in the NBA Finals and sees a similar chance to have quick success as a pro. "It won't take that long, especially with my adaptability and my work ethic," Dybantsa said Monday. "I think that will be, I'm not going to say easy, but pretty similar to what these guys do in terms of the forecast." The visit is a key step in the Wizards' process of evaluating Dybantsa and other top prospects. The team is expected to use the first pick in the draft to select one of these players. The visit is also a chance for Dybantsa to get a sense of the team's culture and to meet with the coaching staff and other players. The visit is expected to be a key factor in the Wizards' decision-making process. The team is expected to make a decision on who to select with the first pick in the draft in the coming weeks.
