They are: BYUs AJ Dybantsa, who led the nation in scoring at 25.5 points per game in his lone college season. Dukes Cameron Boozer, the AP player of the year who averaged 22.5 points and 10.1 rebounds. Kansas Darryn Peterson, who averaged 20.2 points in 24 games for the Jayhawks.

The lottery would grow from 14 to 16 teams if the plan, as expected, is approved.___AP NBA: https://apnews.com/nbaIts about time to watch on your time.
