15 Oct
Summary
- Coach Kevin Young trained A.J. Dybantsa using Phoenix Suns' schemes.
- Dybantsa is being developed to emulate NBA stars Durant and Booker.
- Despite potential, Dybantsa shows early struggles in three-point shooting.
Coach Kevin Young, drawing from his experience with the Phoenix Suns, is shaping the game of A.J. Dybantsa, the Washington Wizards' first overall draft pick. Young's coaching at BYU focused on replicating schemes and drills from the Suns' recent title-contending era. Dybantsa is being specifically trained to mirror the playing styles of NBA stars Kevin Durant and Devin Booker.
Young has implemented pick-and-roll drills, referencing how players like Booker and Durant were developed. Dybantsa showcased his potential in preseason games, averaging 13 points. However, his game needs refinement, notably his 12.5% three-point shooting and 58.8% free-throw percentage, areas that require significant improvement as the NBA regular season approaches.
