There is always a desire for more, and the feeling that the best is yet to come is growing. There is less than a year left until the celebration of the NBA Draft 2026, and it is becoming evident that we may be on the verge of the arrival of a historic generation. If Cooper Flag was perceived as a generational talent, next year there are three players who have the potential to shine as stars.

It is noteworthy that all American basketball experts have been talking about the NBA Draft 2026 as something very important to consider. Numerous franchises will be tempted to tank this season due to the proliferation of great talents, with three players standing out. The current favorite for the number 1 pick is Darryn Peterson, a point guard from the University of Kansas, followed by AJ Dybantsa, an 18-year-old small forward playing for BYU in Utah. Behind them is Cameron Boozer, the son of the legendary Carlos Boozer, who plays as a power forward at Duke.

All three of them are seen as men destined to change the course of the franchise they join. That's why it is expected that several franchises will try to secure a good position in the lottery, aware that the NBA Draft 2026 could bring about significant dynamic changes. The Utah Jazz and the Washington Wizards are the teams most in need of a player of this caliber to believe in the future project and build around him.

Darryn Peterson opens as the betting favorite to become the No. 1 pick in the 2026 NBA Draft, per @DKSportsbook:

Peterson (Kansas): +135
AJ Dybantsa (BYU): +145
Cam Boozer (Duke): +220

All three prospects are viewed as instant franchise-changers in 2026.pic.twitter.com/MY7cBoiWRM
