A.J. Dybantsa is having a great month. The No. 1 recruit in the country committed to BYU men’s basketball for what’s rumored to be the biggest NIL payment ever. Dybantsa will compete for the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft alongside Cameron Boozer and Darryn Peterson once he gets on campus, but first he’s finishing out in his final year of high school with Utah Prep.

Ricky O'Donnell has covered basketball at all levels for more than a decade at SB Nation. He’s currently the Associate Director of Programming.

The level of athleticism, coordination, and confidence to pull this off during a game is just wild. It’s not hard to see why NBA scouts are so excited about Dybantsa’s eventual arrival in the league.
This is basically Aaron Gordon’s mascot dunk in a game. Can you give Dunk of the Year to a high schooler? Because this really might qualify.
