Dybantsa’s athleticism was evident at the NBA scouting combine where the 6-foot-8.5 wing posted a 42-inch vertical leap and 7-foot-0.5 wingspan, providing measurables that the league has not seen often during the 2000s. On the floor, Dybantsa lived up to expectations as one of the most dynamic freshman across college basketball after averaging 25.5 points, 6.8 rebounds and 3.7 assists as BYU’s season ended in the first round of the NCAA Tournament vs. Texas. While perimeter shooting will be one question he’ll look to address after shooting 33% from three, Dybantsa ended his lone season in college basketball named toa First Team All-Big 12 selection, Big 12 Freshman of the Year and winning the Julius Erving Award, an annual award to the nation’s top small forward.
