He is the best NBA prospect to ever put on a BYU uniform, and he is already a household name in NBA circles. Dybansta has worked out with Kevin Durant and many other stars in the league. BYU has never had a player on its roster with as much notorioty and star power as Dybansta. Most importantly, he has lived up to the hype so far in Provo.
