AJ Dybantsa – SF – Brockton, MA

AJ is a bouncy small forward with an advanced game and an advanced frame, he has a chance to develop into a special player.

At 6'8", AJ has very advanced handles and a deep bag. He is enough of a threat as an outside shooter to keep the defense honest and open up the driving lanes. His ability to play above the rim is impressive for any player let alone a 9th grader. He just makes it look easy.

Dybantsa currently plays for St Sebastian's School in Needham.

Between Cooper Flagg and this kid, we need to reinstate the regional draft immediately!

Haha, if only!

Apparently we mightn’t have to wait too long to see Cooper Flagg in the NBA. There are rumors that he’s going to reclassify to be draft eligible in 2025.

sign them both up for the summer league team.  They need all the help they can get.  Then get them on a 2-way.

It's a shame, I desperately want to see Flagg as a Celtic, but I have no interest in what it would take to get a shot at him (horrible injuries / Tatum forcing his way out)
