NBA Draft 2020: Mock Draft 1.0

The Kings were one of the most promising teams in basketball last season. De’Aaron Fox and Buddy Hield burst onto the scene, and Marvin Bagley proved solid as the No. 2 overall pick. This season, however, has marked a step in the wrong direction.

There are several factors at play. Luke Walton is a step down at head coach, injuries have plagued the roster, and a sense of discontentment has invaded the locker room. There are rumblings Hield may request a trade, and Bogdan Bogdanovic‘s future still feels uncertain.

In this instance, Sacramento lucks out. Anthony Edwards is the top prospect, and he fills a potential area of need if one or both of Hield and Bogdanovic are gone next season. He’s a powerful athlete who can score proficiently at all three levels. It’s not hard to picture his fit at the next level.
