CHICAGO (AP) — Darryn Peterson and AJ Dybantsa are set to clash once again after their thrilling high school rivalry, now at the collegiate level, as they emerge as strong contenders for the top two picks in this year’s NBA draft. Meanwhile, Duke’s Cameron Boozer and North Carolina’s Caleb Wilson are also in the mix, vying for top selections.

All four athletes are highly regarded as potential stars, clearly distinguished from the rest in a deep draft class. Their exact selection order remains unclear.

The Washington Wizards possess the first pick for the first time since drafting John Wall in 2010, with the Utah Jazz, Memphis Grizzlies, and Chicago Bulls following closely behind in the top four.

“Being the first pick would be significant for me,” Dybantsa shared on Wednesday during the NBA draft combine. “It signifies that my dedication and sacrifices have been worthwhile.”

Dybantsa, who led the nation in scoring last season, believes he could be an excellent match for the struggling Wizards, who finished with the worst record in the league this past year. However, his pick isn’t guaranteed as others like Peterson, Boozer, and Wilson also make strong cases.

Boozer, the AP national player of the year and son of NBA star Carlos Boozer, averaged 22.5 points and 10.2 rebounds while tying for the national lead with 22 double-doubles. He’s keen on joining an organization that values his contributions. “Going to the right team is vital for my career progression,” he explained.

Wilson, who had an impressive season despite injuries that curtailed his play, promised to deliver dedication and positive change to whichever franchise picks him. Meanwhile, Peterson, despite experiencing health setbacks, demonstrated his prowess by averaging 20.2 points in limited games.

Both Peterson and Dybantsa previously showcased their skills during a memorable AAU matchup, which Peterson dominated. Now, Peterson aims to prove any lingering physical concerns have been resolved, showcasing his enhanced shooting abilities as a result of overcoming recent challenges.
