Potential NBA Top Pick AJ Dybantsa Brings Noise In Student Section For BYU Women’s Win
AJ Dybantsa Brings the Noise For BYU Women’s Win … Leading Chants, Talking Trash
AJ Dybantsa is headed for NBA superstardom … but he’s clearly not rushing out of college life just yet.
The potential No. 1 NBA Draft pick didn’t just attend Thursday’s BYU women's basketball’s WBIT matchup with Stanford -- he made sure it was a scene.

After firing off a pregame tweet calling on fans to pack the gym, Dybantsa pulled up with his teammates -- Rob Wright III, KJ Perry, Khadim Mboup, Abdullah “Bido” Ahmed, Dominique Diomande and Xavion Staton -- and planted himself in the front row, leading chants and jawing at the Stanford bench like he was part of The ROC himself.

Yeah … future NBA franchise guy, front and center, leading the student section.
And the team gave them a show.
Delaney Gibb went off for 27 points -- including back-to-back threes in the fourth that blew things open -- as BYU handled Stanford 76-61 to punch a ticket to the WBIT semifinals, where they’ll face Kansas.
As for Dybantsa … the hype is very real.
The 6-foot-9 phenom pulled up to BYU as the No. 1 recruit in the country … and wasted no time proving why -- leading the nation in scoring at 25.5 points per game to go along with 6.8 rebounds and 3.7 assists. Dude’s been putting on a show from day one … so it makes sense why NBA scouts already see him as a future franchise cornerstone.
While Dybantsa’s future is bound for NBA stardom … for now, he’s still organizing student sections, showing love to the women’s squad, and squeezing every last drop out of college life before it’s gone.
Because the next time he’s front and center in a packed arena, it won’t be as a fan.
