Brockton, MA native AJ Dybantsa is 16 years old, entering his sophomore year of high school at Prolific Prep out in Napa Valley. Standing 6-8, 190 pounds, he’s long and athletic with a knack for scoring.
Oh, and he just might be the best high school basketball player in the world.
Playing up two age groups with the 17Us, the five-star wing led the Nike EYBL Peach Jam with 25.8 points while adding 5.6 rebounds and 2.4 assists in 30.8 minutes per contest. Matching up against players entering their senior years of high school on grassroots basketball’s brightest stage, he didn’t just fit in, he was the best.
