Summary
25.5 points on 51% shooting in 25 games put BYU forward AJ Dybantsa ahead of last year’s No. 1 pick Cooper Flagg offensively as Washington nears Tuesday’s top selection.
Flagg still holds edges in all-around production and winning impact, averaging 19.2 points, 7.5 rebounds and 4.2 assists in 37 games while leading Duke to the Final Four.
Dybantsa posted 6.8 rebounds and 3.7 assists, but BYU exited in the first round after an upset loss to No. 11 Texas, feeding concerns that his teams have not matched his talent.
The comparison also reaches back to high school, where Flagg’s Montverde beat Dybantsa’s Prolific Prep before finishing an undefeated national-title season, though Dybantsa was still only a sophomore then.
