The race for the No. 1 pick in the 2026 NBA Draft has narrowed to a three-man battle between AJ Dybantsa (BYU), Cameron Boozer (Duke), and Darryn Peterson (Kansas). While Dybantsa is the nation’s most explosive scorer (25.3 PPG) and Boozer is the most polished “triple-threat” prospect, Peterson remains the high-ceiling wildcard—provided he can overcome mid-season durability issues.
With the Round of 64 tipping off today, the NCAA Tournament serves as the ultimate tie-breaker. Scouts are weighing Dybantsa’s pure upside against Boozer’s championship-ready floor, knowing that a deep March run could solidify who hears their name called first in June.
