The 2020 NBA Draft will take place on Wednesday night. Like everything that has happened this year, things will look a little differently — the fanfare of a Barclays Center event is replaced with something far more subtle due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Still, this is one of the biggest nights on the NBA calendar, and all 30 teams will assuredly be jostling to try and figure out which first-year player can help their franchise the most.
Helping matters this year is the lack of a no-brainer star. While the 2019 Draft had Zion Williamson and Ja Morant, the 2020 Draft is defined by a number of role players who should be able to help impact winning from day one in the league. Still, there is talent at the top of this Draft, with names like LaMelo Ball, Anthony Edwards, and James Wiseman expected to go early in the night.
Tonight, we’ll track all of the activity of in the Draft, and you can follow along with us live as we offer updates each draft pick, as well as initial reactions in the form of grades and quick analysis. In an important note, grades are based on how well the team did in their position in the Draft given who was available, not necessarily an edict that the player selected is a sure-fire star or a likely bust.
