We’re halfway through the 2026 NBA Draft and the intrigue is far from over. The Washington Wizards got the festivities going by selecting BYU’s AJ Dybantsa with the first overall pick, followed by Darryn Peterson to the Utah Jazz and Cameron Boozer to the Memphis Grizzlies.
Some minor slides occurred in an otherwise chalky Round 1, like Tennessee’s Nate Ament falling to the Milwaukee Bucks at No. 13 and Alabama’s Labaron Philon Jr. slipping all the way to No. 22.
