- AJ Dybantsa BLEW UP this summer on the EYBL circuit with Expressions Elite. He went from being known the best player in New England to leading Peach Jam in scoring at 25.8 PPG. After playing both his 8th grade and freshman seasons at St. Sebastian's in Massachusetts, AJ transferred to Prolific Prep to continue his high school journey. He also recently reclassified from the 2026 class up to 2025 and is ranked as the #1 junior in the country. Many scouts believe he is the best scorer in all of high school basketball.

It’s the footwork for me 🔥 he is NBA BOUND
Nah same... especially on those post ups 🔥
Like a ballerina...
WarEagle!!! 😊
He got good foot work, but I think his wingspan plus his athleticism is what separates him. Him being able to shoot 3s is what will take him to super stardom. Even being automatic from 20 feet, as long as they respect his shot. The vid finally showed his pull up, he looks like he has pretty good mechanics, and his deep thee looks ok too.
Top 3 pick
fundamentals are incredible and his hop-step is killer, and his scoring capability is absurd, definitely following him up, he is NBA bound.
id argue that his fundementals don't look as sound. His handle isn't tight enough and it seems like hes using his raw athletacism to score in a lot of these plays. He has a lot to work on but he looks NBA bound for sure
@@sohamjain7803 This. He definitely still has a lot of work to do, in no way was i trying to disregard that👆🏾
@@sohamjain7803 He's a 6'9 3 level scorer, his handle looks great to me especially for him to had been at freshman at the time. He plays like sga but taller. Kid is a stud. I didn't see any weakness in his game ... Btw I played college 🏀
These are the best highlights from AJ's freshman season. He just reclassified from 2026 to 2025 (skipping his sophomore season) and is now ranked as the #1 junior in high school basketball by both ESPN and 247Sports.
And now ranked #1 by on3 sports as well
He did not reclassify he’s in the correct graduation class for his age. 2007 birth year graduation class is 2025… How are you this wrong?
@@user-ek8vg5fn8rhe did reclassify. Not everyone graduates the same age. He was set to graduate at 19 and now he’s graduating at 18
@@GOATexp I graduated high school at 17 so if I was in his position I would be graduating this year. It really makes you wonder about some of these prospects that are just dominating younger competition. He better play 17 and under at the eybl this summer.
He’s up next league bound 🔥🔥
Bro got 4 level scoring, finishing, threes, mid range, post game. 🔥🔥🔥
ALL around bro
U watching highlights bro
Of coarse@@Ma1q444
As he continues to grow into his body and get stronger he’s gonna be unstoppable
First time in a while I’ve seen a number 1 ranked player be this clear cut of a number 1. I mean damn this dude can hoop
He's not clear number 1...
@@lakerlll1939 I do not feel like he is clear number 1 either. He is good no doubt but I think Cameron Boozer has a better overall skill set. Cameron definitely a much better outside shooter with reasonable range.
A.J is definitely Uber athletic and a very gifted basketball player. Offensively he really has everything, he can shoot the 3,has the pull-up jumper, has the step-back jumper, has the post game and is very good at finishing at the rim. He has super footwork, great body length, a quick 2nd jump. He's got good handles, a good passer and a great eye for finding open teammates, he's also a solid rebounder. He's also very creative at finishing around the rim, has quick feet and very good moves to get past defenders. He's also a solid defender but I think his Offensive skills are definitely superior to his defensive skills and that's not a knock on A.J at all because he's just that good Offensively. He's very good at jumping passing lanes and getting steals that usually end with him quickly finishing at the opposite end with a dunk. He blocks shots here and there and is a decent defender but I definitely wouldn't say a lock down defender. The young man is super talented and athletic, the sky is the limit. Adding some muscle weight would definitely benefit him as he steps up in competition in college and then the nba and I'm sure he will do that and get stronger, I mean he's still growing into his body. I'm not saying he has to add weight and muscle to be successful at the next levels but I definitely think it would benefit him. Either way I think A.J is a future multiple nba all-star. Is he clearly the #1 player in this class? I honestly can't say that he's without a doubt the clear above and beyond #1. Boozer is also a superior athlete and is supremely gifted. I like them both very much and I'm not able to pick 1 over the other. Where 1 might have an advantage over the other 1 then the other 1 has an advantage over them somewhere else so it's a tough evaluation. I will just end with they are both very gifted and I think both will be very successful in college and in the nba, I think they are both future multiple nba all-stars and that they would make amazing teammates with DUKE scrolled across their chests 😁
I cant wait to see him in the league one day, he is a stud.
This is the player you get when you mix superior genetics, elite level athleticism and a high basketball IQ. Dude’s an absolute treat to watch
Wow, this kid is goood. Left handed dominant, shoots right, nice step back, nice handles, only 16??
NBA at maybe 18, definitely 19 and to quote him "I'm a playmaker first!" Good mentality, kid will be going far in basketball.
He did not reclassify he’s in the correct graduation class for his age. 2007 birth year graduation class is 2025. He will be in the league at 19 like all 1 and done players are nothing new here.
He moves so well on the court with his long strides, incredible footwork and touch around the rim for a wing he’s got a beautiful layup package with the top tier athletic ability to be an issues hammering the ball on someones head. If that 3 ball goes to the next level he’s going to be a perfect wing
He’s already NBA ready i’m glad he reclassified 💯💪🏾
He did not reclassify he’s in the correct graduation class for his age. 2007 birth year graduation class is 2025
@@user-ek8vg5fn8r could care less what his original age group was supposed to be. He 100% did reclassified. Who cares what group he was supposed to be with yes or no did he reclassified. Yes he did. Good Sunday to you, sir.
Yeah he’s gonna be a beast, that footwork is incredible
If I didn’t see so many weird Carries I would love this all around. This kids got some talent!
you weird
@@YourFavoriteCoolCousin na, this dude is carrying with his dribble a ton. He'll probably work on it and tighten it up over time though, he's a freshman in HS, so...yeah, you're an idiot lol.
yah his carries are weird 😂😂 i mean he slowmo and always like carrying the ball everytime when in 3pt line 😅😅
I’ve been watching basketball recruiting for ages now and it’s been awhile since a #1 prospect has shined. Kid has a great jumper, crazy aggressiveness towards the rim, if he can’t dunk on you after creating space he will most certainly give you a high efficient mid range jumper, his post game is underrated as well and can definitely pass.
This kid is going to be a scoring menace book it he’s going to be the greatest scorer of his generation
I'd love to see him on Gleague Ignite hes already such a Pro
The Young Man Is Crazy Good!
Very impressive kid. 6'9, can handle and shoot. Looks quick with his long strides. He's thin and will need to get stronger and put on weight when he gets to college and then eventually the NBA. A future #1 overall pick.
This is the most skilled prep player of this age and size I’ve EVER seen and I’ve seen a whole lot. My goodness his footwork and positioning, balance, alpha mentality, can shoot, oh nahhhhh as a #1 pick hands down.
Lebron?🤔Be real.
@@nickpeacock1896 Dybantsa is worlds above at the same stage and age. Lebron was an enigma and his growth as bball player exploded even further once he got to the league.
@@Hotshizzle You must be young. Lebron was on ESPN at this age and front of Sports Illustrated. And he would have been the unanimous #1 pick after his junior year. It’s not even close.
@@nickpeacock1896 I’m not wish I was 😂. Been heavily involved in scouting players from middle school, high school, and so on. Way before Bron. What I’m sharing is a sentiment amongst many pro & NBA scouts. Dybantsa has all star level game at his current age. Lebron is my fav but gotta give credit where it’s due and kids like Dybantsa, Flagg are the next tier of All Word players that are continuing to grow and evolve the game
@@Hotshizzle I’ve yet to hear that analysis from anyone, and the film and numbers say otherwise. Lebron averaged 20ppg as an 18 year old rookie. This kid has a lot more to prove before you can say he’s an NBA all star. Flagg is nice too, but Lebron was and is a generational talent at all levels.
Bruh he gonna be fun to watch in the league he definitely superstar bound
As a KY fan, I've seen way too many top freshman with stoopid expectations not live up to the hype, atleast right away, usually takes 3, 4 or more years for them to come into their own, and usually do. That being said this kid is one of the rare 1s, like AD l, that will be a game changer out the gate, in his first year. He the best recruit I've seen since maybe Zion
The only thing this young man needs to add is some body mass. Adding some muscle weight would definitely benefit him going into college and then the nba, I'm not saying he has to add weight to be successful because I don't think he has to add weight to be successful, I think he could be successful just the way he is right now but I definitely think adding some weight and strength would definitely benefit him as he steps up in competition at the collegiate and then nba levels. A.J is a Swiss army knife of basketball, this 1 young man has all the tools needed. He's a solid 3 point shooter, knock down pull-up jumper, the step back jumper, very creative at finishing around the rim with different layups/ hooks/floaters and of coarse he loves to finish strong at the rim with dunks. He has solid handles, a very good passer with good eyes to find open teammates, also a solid rebounder and he loves to play above the rim. His defense is solid, he gets steals often by jumping the passing lane and in a blink is finishing at the other end with a dunk, he's a good shot blocker. I mean truly this young man has all the tools, he's got fantastic length,he's super athletic, he's got a non-stop motor. Sky is the limit for this young man. I absolutely believe A.J is a future multiple nba all-star player. Last but not least I think A.J would look amazing in a blue and white uniform with DUKE scrolled across his chest 😁
i mean he literally has everything in his game. height length speed footwork energy 3s middy post finishing passing dribbling iq
Yea He's Him!
i will love to see him to the nba
Kids league ready physically. Gives me HS Kuminga vibes with a decent jump shot
He plays just like Kobe 💪🏾
He plays how Alabama basketball plays. In a Nate Oats offense, he could be the next Brandon Miller but with 5 star help and win a natty.
Very few wasted movements. He will be quite good
Remind me of dwade 🔥🔥🔥
nah bro so cold he gotta go to Kentucky
Going to the Rim is great his shot is great I think all he needs to work on is his ability to set plays
That’s Travis Scott
automatic middy and post game... havent seen a post game from a kid this age like this since Bean
if he continues he definitely number 1 pick barring some some 7 foot slasher comes out of nowhere which is likely to happen in the next 3 years probably more then once with how these kids are today
I've heard of this kids name too much for me to not recognize "Next UP"
Giannis with a jumper 😳😳😳😳
Wingspan + foot work + athleticism, he gon be a problem
🔥
This is why some kids should be allowed to enter the nba out of HS. He ready
War Eagle! Come on out to the Plains and make Auburn history.
Giving pg vibes
nah more like kd giannis and kobe
@@danielolugbemi tracy mcgrady paul george jayson tatum
He’s a junior
this is his freshman highlights he just skip this upcoming sophomore year to be that junior you just stated. Listen in other words we all know that already even at the top of the comments it’s pinned. Why do serious?
nother banger
🙏🙏🙏
Hey will fit well in Hubert Davis system at UNC
He’s insane wtf, how tall is he
Before this video:Who is this Guy ?
10 seconds: O he’s HIM
Once he did the euro dunk on sum1 w/ no dribbles n Smooth… He should be playing professionally in Europe ,bcuz he is Him amongst a lot of regular kids… He should be playing in a Professional Playoff Situations to be better… All this after 10 seconds
How tall was he in the 7th or 8th grade?
He plays like a more polished and better shooting Kuminga coming out of high school.
Andrew Wiggins
If he puts on weight, he’ll be insane
He play like Scottie Barnes lol
I wish this BROCKTON KID WENT TO BROCKTON HIGH BUT THINGS ARE WHAT THEY ARE WITH PRIVATE SCHOOLS .
Who noticed that he dunked on lavar

Foot work is slow, it works for HS but college is faster and defenses moves faster still a good player tho for sure
RJ Barrett

The next LeBron or Jordan? You decide...
