With the NBA Draft less than a week away, the Jazz will have the chance to select one of the best, if not the best, prospects they’ve ever drafted. The best part of this draft is that it counts for the top three picks. AJ Dybantsa, Darryn Peterson, and Cam Boozer all have their own legitimate case for the #1 pick.
The Washington Wizards have the first pick and will take one of those three off the board, but no one knows who they’re taking. Both AJ Dybantsa and Darryn Peterson believe they’re the #1 pick based on their interviews with the Wizards, but the Wizards are holding their cards close to the chest.

Jazz fans, on the other hand, let us know who they would prefer if they were choosing between all three prospects, and here’s what they said:
Clearly, Jazz fans have a favorite, and that’s AJ Dybantsa. Not only do Jazz fans appear to prefer Dybantsa 1st, but 41% prefer Peterson. That means that 88% of Jazz fans prefer either Dybantsa or Peterson. Now, maybe some of those Dybantsa voters might prefer Boozer if the Wizards select Dybantsa #1, but it’s pretty clear that a vast majority of fans want Dybantsa or Peterson on draft night.
It’s a good reminder of just how great landing at #2 was on lottery night. Whatever the Wizards do, Jazz fans will come away with the clear top two choices. At FanDuel, AJ Dybantsa has the best odds of going #1, so it may mean that Jazz fans will have to go with their second choice. But in this draft, that’s probably just as good as first.
