We may not be sure when the 2020 NBA Draft will take place, but at least we now know the order. Unlike most drafts, securing the top pick this year doesn’t necessarily guarantee you a franchise player, so it will be interesting to see how the Minnesota Timberwolves handle their choice. Will they look to trade it and gather more win-now talent and/or future assets? Or will they fall in love with one of the top prospects?
The same conundrum lies for the Golden State Warriors, who expect to be a title contender once again next season, and might not have as much use for whichever player they can get at No. 2. No matter who ends up taking them, it seems likely that the top three picks will be Anthony Edwards, LaMelo Ball and James Wiseman — we’re just not sure which order yet.
My first mock draft was done before we knew the draft order, so things have changed quite a bit now that we can take team needs into account. Here we go with version 2.0.
