ConNEXTions athlete AJ Dybantsa is officially a wizards player

"Dybantsa went No. 1 to a Wizards team that desperately required his downhill rim pressure and ability to get to the foul line. Last season, the Wizards were 27th in the league in free-throw rate and 25th in average shot distance from 2-point range, which is to say they typically took longer shots when they actually did take 2-pointers.
Additionally, they were 30th in defensive rebounding rate. Dybantsa’s presence will fill multiple gaps for the team both in the short- and long-term as it looks to climb the Eastern Conference standings. If I were running the Wizards, I would have taken Dybantsa No. 1."
