2020 NBA Mock Draft
I'm very excited for this year's upcoming draft, there is certainly a lot of unknowns heading into tonight. There was no tournament, no in person interviews, no combine, but we still have a some draft risers and fallers. I'll briefly go over some of the most important picks.
There is certainly is no consensus number 1 pick, but it seems like James Wiseman is the consensus number 2. It seems like number 1 is either going to be Lamelo Ball or Anthony Edwards. Wiseman, Ball, and Edwards seem like they will almost certainly be the top 3 off the board.
The biggest riser I have seen in the lottery is Patrick Williams out of FSU. He is incredibly athletic, but definitely a raw prospect. It seems like a very Knicksy pick, especially if he doesn't pan out. My favorite player outside the top 3 is Tyrese Haliburton. Haliburton is a big point guard who can facilitate. He is a very safe pick, with a pretty high upside.
The international prospects in this draft are also very intriguing. Avdija, Maldon, and Pokusevski all have a wide range of volatility in where they will fall in this draft. I like all three of these guys, I think they all have skills that can make them productive NBA players.
`Lastly, we have Onyeka Okongwu he was a guy who I saw rising up draft boards, because of his athleticism and defensive potential. Unfortunately, he has just suffered a fractured toe, so we'll see if he stays in the top five or slides due to injury.
I expect a few teams to try to make some moves tonight such as the Celtics, Hawks, and Rockets. I think this could be a pretty deep draft and I definitely expect some diamonds in the rough in this draft class.
