On this episode of the Locked On NBA Big Board Podcast, James Barlowe and Krysten Peek share live scouting impressions of AJ Dybantsa at the Nike Futures event during All-Star Weekend in Oakland, California. Due to logistics, host Rafael Barlowe conducted two separate interviews—one with his brother James, who was seeing Dybantsa live for the first time, and another with Krysten, who has extensively tracked his development. They break down Dybantsa’s performance in a highly anticipated matchup between his Utah Prep squad and Dynamic Prep, coached by former NBA All-Star Jermaine O’Neal. While Dybantsa was the talk of Basketball Without Borders on Saturday morning, he struggled from the field, finishing with 21 points on 19 shots. James and Krysten analyze the defensive schemes he faced and discuss whether his commitments to Nike and various All-Star Weekend events contributed to his underwhelming performance. Rafael also raises an intriguing question: Is Dybantsa simply bored with high school basketball?
