NBA Draft 2020: Big Board 3.0

35. ISAIAH STEWART / BIG / WASHINGTON

Isaiah Stewart has a hulking 6-foot-10 frame, he plays hard every night, and his offensive repertoire is as polished as any big in this class. He can score efficiently at the rim, keep pace with an up-tempo offense, and even hit the occasional three-pointer. He will need to prove his defense can translate to the NBA.

34. JALEN SMITH / BIG / MARYLAND

One of college basketball’s most impressive centers last season, Jalen Smith’s sophomore campaign was a breakout affair. He emerged as the kind of floor-spacing and shot-blocking big who’s bound to command attention from NBA scouts. He’s a rigid athlete and still has development ahead of him, but it’s difficult to deny the production.

33. JADEN MCDANIELS / WING / WASHINGTON

Frankly, Jaden McDaniels’ freshman season was a bust. Once a top-10 recruit, McDaniels struggled to maintain any semblance of consistency at Washington. He has intriguing tools as a smooth 6-foot-10 scorer who can face-up and create his own shot. In the end, he’s simply too far away to crack the top-30.

32. XAVIER TILLMAN SR. / BIG / MICHIGAN STATE

An excellent complementary talent in the frontcourt, Xavier Tillman Sr. deserves more hype than he’s currently receiving. He’s not the most exciting talent, but Tillman anchored a sturdy Michigan State program for multiple seasons. A smooth pick-and-roll operator, not to mention a clever scorer in the post, Tillman should stick. Not to mention, he’s a hard-working and versatile defender at the five.

31. ROBERT WOODARD II / WING / MISSISSIPPI STATE

The appeal for Robert Woodard lies in his athleticism. At 6-foot-7, he’s one of the more explosive players on the board — not to mention his impressive 7-foot-1 wingspan. He covers a lot of ground defensively, he plays hard every possession, and he has shown immense growth on offense. While far from perfect, he’s the kind of two-way wing teams tend to bank on.
