#1

RANK


Pros:

  • insane burst and coordination at 6’9”, 210

  • good defender when he wants to be; great fast-break/recovery defender

  • initiates contact and wins physical battle vs most + great body control

  • super quick off the catch + great core strength; unusual in filled out 6’9”+ players

  • 3-level scorer who can hit insanely tough shots from anywhere

  • best iso player AND best fast break player in the class; will be extremely valuable in playoff/clutch situations

Cons:

  • questionable shot selection; takes a lot of poor quality middies when he could get to the rim

  • slow decision maker when trapped/doubled; lacks offensive fluidity and tends to be a ball-stopper

  • doesn’t drive left terribly often and lacks many counters to the right hand drive

  • sometimes loses focus on defense

C: MVP

F: fringe all-star

An elite, 6'9" wing with star potential due to his fluid athleticism, scoring versatility, and playmaking flashes. He is a dynamic three-level scorer who plays with confidence and already possesses advanced footwork for his age. To reach his ceiling, he needs to improve his outside shooting consistency and maintain a more selective shot diet.

NBA Comp: PG, T-Mac

General Notes:

  • Bend + Length is insane and makes for some jaw dropping plays

  • Awesome driver and handle creation

  • Shot form is really good

  • Just an elite bag and offensive skillet but the playmaking reads need to improve with how many advantages he creates for others

  • Defensively it's more a focus and motor issue. Just focus on staying attached and maintaining position because the talent is there to be a plus defender.

Low End: Josh Jackson Median: Big Joe Johnson High End: Dominique Wilkins Pros: Athleticism, scoring, defense Cons: Shooting, handle Verdict: Really good at bending and finding space like SGA, but often goes to a hop-step instead to fade when he can easily attack the rim. Can slash to the rim with a high success rate and volume, but the shooting and handle is still TBD. Strong tendency to drive left.

Primary Shot Creator

Plays across the wing - 2, 3, 4

(Jayson Tatum)

  • Handle

  • Shot creation

  • Athleticism

  • Both hand finishes

  • Movement

  • Aggressive scoring options, gets to the rim

  • Passing

  • Strength

  • 3pt

Blueprint as shot creator, has a deep bag of pro moves already but the outside shot needs to improve. Is in attack mode and looks to get to the rim, makes patient moves and is rarely taking ill advised shots, despite high USG. Still a streaky FT shooter. Passing is fine, not a weakness but far from a strength. Has the ability to make the pass and processes simple ones a tick slow. Legit defensive attention and rotation concerns. Runs around a lot, but finds himself out of position or losing a man and frequently misses box outs while ball watching. But has all the physical tools to be good.

PROS Very good back to the basket game and turnaround Elite athlete and very good shotmaker with a high release point (Tmac/PG vibes less smooth but powerful) Good and improving passer with decent touch and precision.

CONS Shot selection often not great, takes some contested shots Defensive effort is very inconstant especially off the ball Shoots a low amount of 3s

12/1: He’s got great length and overall talent. I question whether his drive his personal drive is quite up there with the other two ahead. Hasn’t recorded many stocks early on (under 1 per game for someone 6’9” is questionable). Regardless, he is closer to number one than number four. Current Rank = 3

Dybantsa's scoring excites me. He looks agressive and generates a lot of paint touches. I have also been pleasantly supprised with his playmaking, as he doesn't just make simple reads.

Apparently his defense is a little worrying, however I haven't watched any film so...

His handle has to improve if he wants to be among the leagues best scorers at some point.

His fit on the Wizards isn't worrying. I think he pairs very well with George as they are both big wings with exceptional physical tools and playmaking instincts for the position. Than the question remains whether Bub or B Coul rounds out the starting line-up. A line-up with Bub, Tre Johnson and Dybantsa worries me defensively. A line-up of George, Johnson III, Dybantsa, Coulibaly and Sarr is intriguing. This amount of size and length can be very overwhelming for offenses. Offensively it also doesn't scare me. There are some playmaking concerns, but I think the sheer amount of offensive and shot-making talen compensates for this.

Dybantsa would be really fun on the Wizards.
