A few years ago, I was at St. Sebastian’s covering a basketball game for the Herald. There were about 1,500 people crammed into the gymnasium, all excited to witness point guard Trevor Mullin eclipse 2,000 career points. Then, a freshman took the game over. He began things by posterizing three defenders at the rim. Later on, he pulled off this alley-oop, catching a pass from Mullin in the process. It was then that I turned to Trevor Hass from the Globe, and said: "I think this kid could play in the NBA one day." That freshman turned out to be AJ Dybantsa, and that day has arrived. He has officially been selected with the No. 1 overall pick in tonight's Draft by the Washington Wizards.
