"Dybantsa might be better.

That's not merely my projection. I spent five days in Rock Hill, South Carolina, and North Augusta and took in Adidas' 3SSB (Three-Stripe Select Basketball) championship event in addition to the Peach Jam. I informally polled about two dozen coaches and scouts at the Adidas and Nike events about which prospect they liked best: Flagg, Dybantsa or another irresistible talent, 2026 blue-chipper Tyran Stokes (all three being No. 1 in their respective classes). Dybantsa received more votes than Flagg and Stokes combined."

Dybantsa's scoring ability is outrageous. It's natural to wince at big statements made about teenagers, but here's the reality of what I heard at Peach Jam over the weekend from multiple evaluators: Dybantsa's offensive impact on the court at this level at this stage of his budding basketball career is akin to basically any of the best prospects to come through the ranks over the past 20 years. He's that good. He communicates with his teammates on basically every possession, has go-go-gadget limbs, loves the mid-range just as much as the 3 (and is efficient at both), and seems to have the ability to teleport from one spot to another in a flash."
