LAS VEGAS — AJ Dybantsa and Darryn Peterson, the top two picks in a loaded 2026 NBA draft class, will spend much of their careers being compared to one another. Fittingly, in their introduction to the NBA, the two faced off, the first of many post-draft measuring-stick moments between the two sensational talents.
But if Wizards top executive Michael Winger was hoping Thursday night’s Summer League clash would give him added confidence that he got the call right selecting Dybantsa, he had to feel good watching his top pick outduel Peterson in front of a Las Vegas crowd that oohed and aahed at every move the two made.
