BYU freshman forward AJ Dybantsa has a decision to make on whether he will declare for the 2026 NBA Draft or return for another year of college basketball, but it’s not entirely his decision, it’s his mom’s. Dybantsa announced on Yahoo Daily on Tuesday that he and his mother, Chelsea, have not yet decided where he will play basketball next year. “I haven’t talked to my mom.
She has pretty much been making a lot of my decisions in life for me,” Dybantsa said. Dybantsa also agreed that he is willing to stay all four years to earn his degree. “I know she wants me to graduate college, so I don’t know if she is basing it off of, ‘Yeah, you’re going to stay in school to graduate or if she just wants me to go accomplish my dreams,” Dybantsa said.
“Who knows. ” Chelsea has helped Dybantsa with many decisions, such as where he should attend high school. He spent time at Saint Sebastian's (MA), Prolific Prep (CA), and Utah Prep.
