Welcome back to the Frosh Watch, our weekly ranking of the ten most impressive freshmen in college basketball. For the 11th season in a row, CBS Sports has once again teamed up with the United States Basketball Writers Association and its Wayman Tisdale Freshman of the Year Award to present this every-Tuesday feature. Each week, we’ll start by announcing the national Freshman of the Week honoree. The cycle for FOTW runs Tuesday-Monday.
Last week, college basketball fans/NBA scouts, and decision-makers saw why Dybantsa is special. Last week was the best two-game stretch of his college career by far. In the win over Clemson, Dybantsa scored 22 of his 28 points in the second half and also added nine rebounds and six assists.
In BYU’s next game against UC Riverside, Dybantsa followed it up by finishing with 26 points, eight rebounds, seven assists and five steals in just 30 minutes during a 100-53 win. The tape Dybantsa put on display last week was incredible. It is something that could help his case to go No. 1 overall this summer.
