The only issue? Trae Young currently wears that number right now.

Recently, AJ Dybantsa was on the “Gilbert Arenas Show,” a podcast with the former Wizards star. Contrary to previous rumblings that he preferred to stay in Utah because he went to Brigham Young, Dybantsa answered questions about him as a potential Wizards player, including which number he would want to wear.

Young wears No. 3 for the Wizards, though he previously wore No. 11 for most of his career. The No. 11 is retired by the Wizards in honor of Elvin Hayes, so this appears to be a taller task for Dybantsa. After all, if Young gets traded to the Wizards and doesn’t demand No. 11, then Dybantsa probably should be more coy about that.
All of that said, jersey numbers are a very small part on why a player should or shouldn’t be acquired. Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
