NBA Draft No. 1 pick odds AJ Dybantsa: -105 (bet $10 to win $19.52 total)Darryn Peterson: +105 (bet $10 to win $20.50 total)Cameron Boozer: +700 (bet $10 to win $80 total) For the first time in a long time, Darryn Peterson is not atop the board. The Kansas star has spent nearly the entire season as the favorite, but in recent weeks, BYU's AJ Dybantsa has been inching closer. And as of this week, he has crept to the top. Several times this season, Peterson has mysteriously asked out of games, but it hasn't stopped him from averaging 19.7 points and 3.8 rebounds in 27.6 minutes per game. On the year, he has had eight games of 20+ points, including one game of 30 or more. Most recently, in KU's 84-61 loss to Arizona, he had 24 points, five rebounds, three assists, two blocks and a steal in 31 minutes. While impressive, those numbers are not quite on the level of Dybantsa's, who is putting up 24.9 points and 6.8 rebounds in 34 minutes per game. He has 22 games of 20 points or more, including six games of 30 or more. Dybantsa is even averaging more assists than Peterson - 3.7 to 1.5. Then there is Boozer, who has been dominating the ACC all season. He is averaging 22.6 points, 10 rebounds and four assists. Boozer's Blue Devils are also the No. 1 team in the country, and could very likely enter the NCAA Tournament as the No. 1 overall seed.
