High school basketball fans praised BYU signee AJ Dybantsa after he led all players with 33 points and 12 rebounds on Friday, even though Utah Prep fell 68-63 to Bella Vista College. Issa Bucket Productions shared a highlight reel of the second game at the Montverde Invitational for the No. 1 player in the Class of 2025, and that left many in awe as usual.

“His shot decisions are pro level he ready for the league no bap," a fan said.

“Bro lowk might be better then Cooper Flagg," another fan said.

The praises kept coming for Dybantsa.

“AJ really got it in him a dawg," a fan said.

“He’s too damn biggg” *chris tucker voice,” another fan said.

“🪣🪣, another fan just dropped the bucket emoji.

“Ngl str8 bucket," a fan wrote.

Dybantsa's performance against Bella Vista came after he dropped 35 points on 13-of-21 shooting to lead Utah Prep to an 82-79 victory over Sagemont Prep on Thursday. Dybantsa was also solid from 3-point range, shooting 7 of 8 and hitting eight out of 10 free-throw attempts.

AJ Dybantsa misses out on Montverde revenge

AJ Dybantsa's performance at the Montverde International capped off a strong month for the top prospect. Despite his success in January, Dybantsa was unhappy with the 74-60 loss to Montverde Academy on Jan. 19 and sought revenge this weekend. However, that opportunity vanished after Utah Prep's loss to Bella Vista.

Bella Vista will take on Montverde, which beat Calvary Christian in the other game.
