Later,\u00a0Dybantsa\u2019s father, Ace, asked why Sampson stopped recruiting his son.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe didn\u2019t have enough money,\u201d\u00a0Sampson said on Friday\u2019s video-conference call with reporters.<\/p>\n
Dybantsa played one season at BYU and was taken the top overall pick by the Washington Wizards in this year\u2019s NBA draft.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The 6-foot-9 wing averaged 25.5 points, 6.8 rebounds and 3.7 assists at BYU. He played and lost to Houston twice, once at Fertitta Center and later in the Big 12 tournament. Dybantsa scored 28 and 26 points, respectively, in those games.<\/p>\n
BYU ended up getting upset by Texas in the second round of the NCAA tournament, while UH, led by its own super freshman Kingston Flemings, made it to the Sweet 16 where it fell to Illinois. Flemings went seven picks after Dybantsa in the draft, going to the Atlanta Hawks at No. 8<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Later,\u00a0Dybantsa\u2019s father, Ace, asked why Sampson stopped recruiting his son. \u201cWe didn\u2019t have enough money,\u201d\u00a0Sampson said on Friday\u2019s…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":353994,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[56,58,57],"class_list":["post-353993","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-houston","tag-houston","tag-houston-headlines","tag-houston-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/353993","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=353993"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/353993\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/353994"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=353993"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=353993"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=353993"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
