Nba Mock Draft Roundup Update: Dybantsa’s Still The Wizards’ Guy!

On May 26, Greg Finberg wrote a 2026 NBA mock draft roundup on which prospect will be going No. 1 to the Washington Wizards. Today is June 22, the day before the real thing. And we gotta update it. So let’s update this mock draft roundup!

• Bleav in Wizards and Bullets Forever — AJ Dybantsa, BYU. Matt Modderno and Kevin Broom spoke at length about why this was a hard decision. But Dybantsa is the guy!

• SB Nation (Ricky O’Donnell) — Dybantsa. This was from yesterday when O’Donnell said “big changes.” Unless Darryn Peterson is No. 1, it’s NO change to me.
• ESPN (Jeremy Woo) — Dybantsa. Woo’s last mock was on June 15.
• CBS Sports (Ethan Finkelstein and others) — Dybantsa. Four writers gave a mock. All said Dybantsa.
• NBADraft.net — Some dude who went to college in Utah. And it’s not the University of Utah.
• The Athletic (Sam Vecenie) — The same guy that NBADraft.net had at No. 1. I’m not considering the Sam Harper “chaos draft” from yesterday where the Wizards select Cameron Boozer because … it was based on chaos. So it ain’t official.
• Yahoo (Kevin O’Connor) — Okay, I’ll stop being a smartass. AJ Dybantsa as one the latest mock.

Well, since May, nothing changed, with the exception of Sam Harper having a “chaos draft” on The Athletic that would make Ricky O’Donnell happy. O’Donnell wrote in his mock draft on SBNation.com that Boozer is his personal favorite for No. 1. But ultimately, Dybantsa is still the unanimous winner in all official mock drafts.

Either way you look at it, now that the Wizards have the No. 1 pick, the FanDuel odds have them moving up in the standings in terms of NBA championship and Eastern Conference championship odds. Hopefully soon after Dybantsa is wearing that Wizards cap on Tuesday, we’ll also see the Wizards compete for a postseason berth.
