The Washington Wizards opened the NBA draft on Tuesday night by selecting BYU forward AJ Dybantsa with the No. 1 overall pick.
The Wizards tabbed Dybantsa over Kansas guard Darryn Peterson, who had a checkered college season at Kansas. The Utah Jazz then selected Peterson second overall.
The 206-centimeter-tall Dybantsa led the nation in scoring at 25.5 points per game in his one college campaign and should be ready to make an immediate impact.
