Siegel’s Scoop: 🕵️
Editor’s note: Catch new, exclusive intel from ClutchPoints insider Brett Siegel right here in the ClutchPoints Newsletter!
Will it be AJ Dybantsa or Darryn Peterson at No. 1 for the Washington Wizards? Even at the very top of the draft board, there is a level of uncertainty among the top prospects as to who will hear their name called by Adam Silver at the 2026 NBA Draft.
The wrinkle of the week leading up to next week's draft is that Peterson has canned his workout and meetings with the Utah Jazz, who hold the No. 2 pick, according to ESPN. He is fully of the belief that he should be the first name called on June 23, which has been the talking point at the top of the draft this week.
Dybantsa recently worked out for the Wizards and met with the team's leadership at the end of last week, and everything went “perfect,” according to one source close to the situation. The BYU forward and his camp got strong signals from his time with the Wizards that he would be the first pick in this year's draft.
Peterson and his camp are trying to make it a point that he is determined to be the No. 1 pick and wants to fight for the Wizards, something team president Michael Winger has been on record saying he wants from whichever prospects the team selects first. This is simply a tactic to try to apply pressure while also trying to get to a certain destination.
As of this moment, six days before the 2026 NBA Draft, Dybantsa is still viewed as the clear favorite to be the first pick, despite Peterson canceling his workout in Utah and making it clear he should be the No. 1 pick, sources told ClutchPoints.

The Latest ✍️
The Washington Wizards have a big week coming up as they have the chance to select the best player in the NBA Draft with the No. 1 pick. Outside of that, they also have to worry about their own players, as Trae Young recently opted out of his $49 million contract.
Many are speculating that this could see him leave DC this summer, but our insiders don't see a lot of truth in those rumors.
