Durant grew up in the Washington area, and Wizards fans can only hope Dybantsa can live up to the comparisons.\n\nThey certainly hope he will be better than center Kwame Brown, the pick Washington made in 2001, the first time it had the No. 1 selection after the NBA changed draft formats to eliminate territorial picks in 1966. The Wizards took John Wall in 2010 the other time, and he did turn into an All-Star.\n\nHe appeared to say a quick prayer after his name was announced, then went on stage to greet Commissioner Adam Silver and slipped on a black Wizards hat that matched nicely with his black suit.\n\n\nDybantsa beat out fellow freshman Darryn Peterson of Kansas, who was taken at the No. 2 pick by Utah. While some thought Peterson had the most talent in the class, the guard missed 11 games during the season because of injuries and illness, potentially creating some questions that Dybantsa didn\u2019t have.\n\nRELATED STORIES\n Cameron Boozer arrives for the first round of the NBA basketball draft Tuesday, June 23, 2026, in New York.

Or for Boozer, with his body of work after he put up 22.5 points, 10.2 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game for Duke, where his father, Carlos, also played before becoming a two-time NBA All-Star.\n\nThe uncertainty was expected to begin at No. 5.
