The anticipation for next month's NBA Draft is heating up now that the selection order has been decided in the draft lottery, with the Washington Wizards getting the No. 1 pick.
The Wizards will have the top selection for the first time since choosing John Wall in 2010.
Washington has plenty of talent to choose from, but the consensus top three picks are BYU forward AJ Dybantsa, Kansas guard Darryn Peterson, and Duke forward Cameron Boozer.
They were all measured at the Draft Combine, and things are looking good for the highly touted prospects, as noted by Draft Express' Jonthan Givony.
Dybantsa was listed at 6'8″ and 217 pounds, with a 7'0″ wingspan and 8'10” standing reach.
“In line with his past measurements, and still elite dimensions for an NBA wing,” wrote Givony.

Boozer was logged at 6'8″ and 253 pounds, with a wingspan and standing reach of 7'1″ and 9'0″, respectively.
“Solid numbers across the board, including a 9'0″ reach that gives him viability as a small-ball five,” said Givony.
Duke's Cam Boozer measured 6'8.25 barefoot and 253 pounds at the NBA Draft Combine, with a 7'1.5 wingspan and 9'0 standing reach.

Observers are claiming that no team can go wrong with Dybantsa, Peterson, or Boozer, as they have shown in their one-and-done stints in college that they are already built for the NBA.
The Wizards might lean on Dybantsa or Boozer to shore up their frontline, especially at small forward.
The Utah Jazz and the Memphis Grizzlies will be picking after the Wizards.
