AJ Dybantsa

Dybantsa is a lanky wing with impressive on-ball scoring ability. He thrives in the mid-range, using his positional height to rise over defenders for jump shots. His long strides and fluid ball-handling make him a hard cover when he's looking to get to the basket, and he also gets to the free-throw line at a high rate. Dybantsa's aggression as a scorer and athleticism at his height make him a high-upside wing on the offensive side of the ball, although his lack of defensive impact and three-point shooting raise questions about his ceiling.
