The No. 1 pick joins Road Trippin' and makes his expectation for Washington clear: bring the Wizards back to the playoffs. AJ Dybantsa explains when he first knew he was different, how BYU prepared him for an NBA routine, and why playing with Trae Young, Anthony Davis and Khris Middleton can accelerate his rookie season.
AJ also opens up about Kevin Durant going from his idol to his friend, the advice KD gave him and the NBA stars he cannot wait to test himself against, including LeBron James, Luka Dončić, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Nikola Jokić. Richard Jefferson and Channing Frye share their advice for building a professional routine, AJ discusses his foundation's education work in Jamaica and the Congo, and the crew makes his Rookie of the Year case.
