What happened: NBC Sports' fourth mock draft of the cycle projects AJ Dybantsa as the Washington Wizards' selection at No. 1 overall. The same projection slots Yaxel Lendeborg to the Milwaukee Bucks, accounting for a Giannis Antetokounmpo trade reshaping Milwaukee's board.

Why it matters: Washington owns the top pick and has spent the pre-draft window weighing Dybantsa against other prospects at No. 1, so the projection tracks where the Wizards' rebuild may anchor. A Bucks board reordered around a Giannis trade points to a roster pivot in Milwaukee.

What to watch: Watch whether Washington commits to Dybantsa on draft night and how Milwaukee restructures its rotation following the Giannis move.
