Dybantsa can be a special player in the league.

AJ Dybantsa is turning heads at the NBA Draft Combine, and it's not just his highlight reels doing the talking. The BYU standout's physical measurements are drawing some incredible comparisons to Boston Celtics superstar Jayson Tatum—and for good reason.

While we all know that measurements alone don't make a superstar (talent and work ethic are what truly separate the greats from the good), it's hard to ignore just how closely Dybantsa mirrors Tatum's frame. The young prospect checked in at 6'8.5" barefoot and 217 pounds, with a 7'0.25" wingspan and an 8'10" standing reach. For context, Tatum—who has been listed anywhere from 6'8" to 6'10" during his NBA career—measured with an 8'10.5" standing reach during his own pre-draft process. Dybantsa actually has a slight edge in weight, coming in a few pounds heavier than Tatum's listed 210.

These aren't just numbers; they're a blueprint for success at the wing position in today's NBA. Dybantsa has the size and length to compete from day one, and his natural scoring ability—he's been called a "natural bucket getter"—only adds to the excitement. If the team that drafts him ends up with a player anywhere close to Tatum's level, they'll be celebrating for years to come.

Of course, the Combine is just the first step. But for a player with Dybantsa's physical tools and skill set, the foundation is undeniably there. Keep an eye on this one—he's built for the league.
