A fresh look at the 2020 NBA Draft landscape.
The status of the 2020 NBA Draft is shrouded in doubt. The coronavirus pandemic continues to postpone the NBA season, which will in turn push back the date of the draft. In addition to uncertainty around the date, uncertainty around the process — workouts, interviews, etc. — has muddied the waters for many reporters.
This mock draft attempts to cut through the noise and project first-round picks for all 30 teams. As always, this mock is based on my evaluation of what teams are likely to do, not what I think teams should do. Reports, film, and general NBA trends all factor into which player lands where.
If you want a ranking of my top 30 prospects, you can check out my big board.
Since the lottery has not been held yet, the lottery order for this mock was DETERMINED VIA TANKATHON SIMULATION. Congratulations to the Golden State Warriors, Cleveland Cavaliers, Atlanta Hawks, and Sacramento Kings!
The Philadelphia 76ers currently possess the No. 22 overall pick.
