Every week, I’m sharing my 2026 NBA Draft scouting notes on who I watched that week and my biggest takeaways. This week’s notes will mostly encapsulate the games from 1/6 – 1/14 with a sprinkling of games from previous dates. Let’s dive into why Brayden Burries is heating up, Bennett Stirtz and Hannes Steinbach are giving me headaches, and so much more.
AJ Dybantsa – BYU 6’9” Freshman Wing
AJ Dybantsa was terrific against Arizona State. This is becoming the norm for him, but I want to make sure we don’t get numb to it, because the constant game-to-game improvement is really important. The game is slowing down for Dybantsa in terms of shot creation and playmaking. He’s continuing to do a much better job of using his scoring gravity to create for others.
