BYU standout AJ Dybantsa averaged 25.5 ppg last season.
AJ Dybantsa is done playing at BYU and ready to head to the NBA.
In a short video posted to his YouTube channel, Dybantsa says he is entering the 2026 NBA Draft.
In the video, Dybantsa reads a letter he says he wrote when he was 7 years old and hoping to become a basketball player one day. He more than accomplished that in 2025-26, as he lead the nation in scoring with 25.5 points per game as well as 6.8 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game as well.
BYU went 23-12 and reached the NCAA Tournament while Dybantsa was a consensus first-team All-American, first-team All-Big 12, won the Julius Irving Award (top small forward) and was named Big 12 Freshman of the Year
