NBA Draft Profiles: What could AJ Dybansta bring to the Utah Jazz?
The Utah Jazz are sitting pretty with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft — and the excitement is real. KSL Sports' Ben Anderson joins KSL Sports Zone to break down the state of the Jazz and why this feels like a contention window cracking open.
With Jaren Jackson Jr., Lauri Markkanen, Ace Bailey, and Walker Kessler already on the roster, the Jazz have multiple All-Star-caliber players in place. Now, adding a top-two pick from one of the most highly-touted draft classes in years could push this team to perennial playoff contender status.
In this episode, Ben dives deep into BYU's AJ Dybantsa — the projected No. 1 overall pick and a generational athletic talent. Ben breaks down AJ's elite finishing, improving ball-handling, mid-range game, and what still needs to develop (three-point shooting and defensive consistency) for him to reach his sky-high ceiling.
