NEW YORK — Let’s make this clear right off the bat, because it’s related to the question everyone wants to know.AJ Dybantsa and Darryn Peterson, the two contenders to be chosen first overall by the Washington Wizards in the 2026 NBA Draft on Tuesday, said they haven’t received any indications about how the top of the draft will unfold.“I’m going to find out when you find out,” Dybantsa said Monday.“That’s the only thing I’m not a big fan of,” Peterson said a few minutes later. “I’ve got no clue (about Tuesday). But we’re going to see.”This draft doesn’t carry the certainty of the 2023 draft, when Victor Wembanyama was a lock to be selected first by the San Antonio Spurs. The same can be said for last year’s draft, when there was no doubt Cooper Flagg would go first to the Dallas Mavericks.What is certain is that Dybantsa, a 6-foot-9 wing from BYU, and Peterson, a 6-5 combo guard from Kansas, want to be the first pick.“Years and years of work, so it’d probably just mean a lot,” Dybantsa said. “Who knows, I might cry.”“It would mean a lot,” Peterson said. “I work super-hard. I feel like I deserve it. But I’m just prepared to make the most out of whatever situation that happens.”Wizards get the No. 1 draft pick. Will it make a difference?David AldridgeDybantsa and Peterson, along with other first-round prospects, met Monday afternoon with media at a Manhattan hotel, barely a block away from the NBA’s corporate headquarters. Neither player said anything explosive, but Peterson confirmed that he met with Utah Jazz officials over the weekend after deciding not to work out for the Jazz. He did work out for the Wizards.
