Dybantsa Not Locked At No. 1 as Mara Surges in 2026 NBA Draft Buzz
TL;DR Summary
As the 2026 NBA Draft approaches, AJ Dybantsa remains the likely No. 1 but isn’t guaranteed, with Darryn Peterson and others still in contention amid medical review concerns. Aday Mara’s strong combine has him climbing boards and could disrupt the top-8 run on guards. Don’t expect the Jazz to trade up for Dybantsa; Sacramento is eyeing Darius Acuff at No. 7, and Milwaukee could add more picks if Giannis moves.
