AJ Dybantsa aims for Top 100 after advice from Dwyane Wade

Summary

After being selected by the Washington Wizards with the No. 1 pick in the 2026 NBA draft, AJ Dybantsa outlined his new goal of making the Top 100 players in NBA history. Dybantsa, following a conversation with Dwyane Wade, described how Wade's own aspirations influenced his perspective. In Summer League action, Dybantsa has performed well, contributing 23 points in a victory over the Sacramento Kings, adding to his earlier 27 points against the Utah Jazz. The Wizards currently have a 2-0 record in the tournament, and there is a possibility Dybantsa may be shut down for the remainder of Summer League play as he adjusts to the professional level.
