Dybantsa is going to be BOX Office. The amount of tourism that he is going to bring to Southern Utah might rival some of the National Parks in the area. I would not be surprised when Utah Prep finds a way to host some Grind Session events, especially being so close to Las Vegas. Dybantsa has been projected as the #3 pick when he is eligible for the NBA Draft. Let that sink in.

You can also comp him with some T-Mac as well. Dybansta will not only wow you on the offense end of the basket but he will also play defense as he is the best two way player in the country heading into his senior year. He will have the pick of the liter when it comes to choosing a college.

The 6-8 junior forward re-classed from 2026 to 2025 over the summer and has improved his game in a variety of ways. Dybantsa is a long, wiry wing that has a smooth handle in the open court allowing him to finish around the rim through traffic as well as great passing skills. Defensively, Dybantsa plays with a ton of length where he can block shots around the rim as well as challenge shots out on the perimeter. He is on track to be one of the top-ranked players in his class, as he continues to get stronger and more physical inside.
