NBA Draft 2020: Big Board 1.0

Ant-Man — the most exciting prospect on the board and, for now, the top prospect. He took an unconventional collegiate path, joining a UGA program known more for football than basketball. Given the Dawgs’ lack of perimeter talent, Edwards will be tasked with a sizable burden as a freshman.

Perhaps that’s a good thing. He will get every chance to showcase his unique talents. At 6-foot-5, Edwards is a tank. There are shades of James Harden in his build — a strong-bodied guard who can bully his way through traffic and explode to the rim. His athleticism is worthy of a top pick.

Edwards can also score on the perimeter, with a projectable 3-point stroke and a few NBA-ready moves. He plays extremely hard, will pull out awe-inspiring dunks, and will have a good chance to go deep into his bag as Georgia’s undisputed alpha. He’s a strong bet in the No. 1 spot.

Next month, I will release an expanded big board, detailing the top 60 prospects (with a few potential adjustments). Stay tuned.
