NBA Draft 2020: Big Board 4.0

40. Devon Dotson, guard, Kansas

He needs to iron out his 3-point stroke, but Devon Dotson is a turbo-charged scorer who has no problem penetrating the defense and putting points on the board. He’s undersized and needs another playmaker with him in the backcourt, but Dotson’s quickness, finishing ability, and in-between game are praise-worthy.

39. Tyler Bey, forward, Colorado

Bey essentially profiles as a 6-foot-7 big man. He played center at Colorado and will need to evolve in order to truly stick in the NBA. That said, his defensive versatility and complementary skill set are indicative of a valuable rotation piece.

38. Jahmi’us Ramsey, guard, Texas Tech

A talented scorer who can bury a boatload of difficult shots, it’s not difficult to picture Ramsey carving out a role in the NBA. Anyone with his knack for scoring can stick. His ancillary skills, however, will determine just how much he can contribute to winning.

37. Abdoulaye N’Doye, guard, Cholet Basket

N’Doye has been a prospect for years now, and he’s finally set to get drafted. At 6-foot-7, N’Doye is a source of great intrigue due to his blend of length and athleticism in the backcourt. He can defend multiple positions, and has improved in key areas of late.

36. Isaiah Stewart, big, Washington

A bit of a throwback with a few modern twists, Isaiah Stewart should get a shot in the NBA. He’s a skilled, efficient post-up scorer who can set solid screens and aptly protect the rim. Like many bigs, his ability to defend in space and handle the speed of modern basketball will ultimately determine his fate.

35. Robert Woodard II, wing, Mississippi State

At 6-foot-7 with a 7-foot-2 wingspan, it’s tough to ignore Woodard’s raw tools. He still has room to grow in terms of feel and skill level, but improvement in his 3-point stroke and a great baseline on defense should keep him in the late first to early second-round mix.

34. Tre Jones, guard, Duke

One of the best point guards in college basketball as a sophomore, Tre Jones proved his mettle on both sides of the ball last season. He’s an elite point of attack defender and a smart, relatively mistake-free facilitator. The next step is a more consistent 3-point shot.

33. Ty-Shon Alexander, guard, Creighton

At 6-foot-4, Alexander has developed a sturdy reputation on defense. He’s active and aware, and is one of the best on-ball defenders in this range. Offensively, he can hit 3s and do the little things to help a team win. He will need to develop as a ball-handler to unlock his ceiling, but the core skill set is one NBA teams covet.

32. Malachi Flynn, guard, San Diego State

Though undersized and limited athletically, there’s a lot to like about Malachi Flynn. He’s one of the best playmakers outside the lottery, and combines his excellent feel with deep range on his jumper. He could end up in the first round.

31. Jalen Smith, big, Maryland

Smith fits the rough outline of a modern NBA center. He can block shots and hit 3s, which alone is enough to garner interest in the first round. He is still a bit gangly and not entirely proficient defending outside the paint, but Smith has 3-and-D upside teams will buy.
