A.J. Dybantsa is now projected to go No. 1 to Washington, with betting odds shifting from +360 underdog status to a commanding -450 favorite.
BYU's forward gained separation after overtaking Darryn Peterson in early March, helped by his tournament play and growing questions about Peterson's motor and cramping issues.
That leaves Peterson projected No. 2 to Utah at -145, while Duke forward Cameron Boozer is slotted No. 3 to Memphis as the -125 favorite.
The rest of the top 10 looks far less settled: Caleb Wilson is the strongest favorite at any later slot with a 66% chance at No. 4, while several picks from No. 5 through No. 10 have multiple players above 10%.
The odds-based mock underscores how fluid draft markets can be, echoing past swings such as Paolo Banchero's 2022 move from 16-1 to eventual No. 1 pick.
