Ask a handful of experts who they think should go No. 1 in the NBA Draft, and you might hear three different answers.Ask them who will go No. 1, and you’ll likely get only one name: A.J. Dybantsa.The athletic wing from BYU is widely considered the player the Washington Wizards will choose on Tuesday night, when the event begins in Brooklyn. The sportsbooks also seem to agree emphatically.Dybantsa’s odds to go first currently sit at -750, followed by Darryn Peterson at +600 and Cameron Boozer at +4000. To put that into a little more context, his implied odds of being the No. 1 draft pick are 88%. Why AJ Dybantsa is the no. 1 prospect in this year's NBA DraftSam VecenieIt’s a big change from when BetMGM opened the market in February. Peterson, a smooth 6-foot-6 combo guard, was a -325 favorite and Dybantsa was a +360 challenger. Dybantsa passed Peterson as the favorite in mid-March, during the Big 12 tournament. Even as of last week, Dybantsa was listed at -375 to go first, while Peterson was +300, but the odds have continued to shift significantly.According to BetMGM, as of Monday morning, 75 percent of the money the company had taken on this bet was on Dybantsa to go No. 1.This isn’t a no-brainer like Victor Wembanyama (2023) or Cooper Flagg (2025), who reached -100000 odds to go first. But most mock drafts, including Sam Vecenie’s for The Athletic, have the Wizards taking Dybantsa.While Vecenie also has Dybantsa atop his personal rankings, it’s a close call in his eyes. Other analysts see it differently, as The Athletic’s John Hollinger, Yahoo’s Kevin O’Connor and The Ringer’s J. Kyle Mann favor Boozer; ESPN’s Jeremy Woo sides with Peterson.The Wizards, winners of 50 games combined in the past three seasons, have tried to tank their way to this opportunity since Michael Winger took over as team president and brought along Will Dawkins as general manager ahead of the 2023 draft. After near misses of Wembanyama and Flagg, the ping pong balls finally fell their way.
