It’s finally time for the NBA draft.
After eight months of uncertainty and the league facing challenges unlike anything we’ve ever seen, the 2020-21 season is right around the corner. The trade moratorium lifted on Monday and Wednesday’s draft is the next event in what is already shaping up to be a wild and fast-paced offseason.
Here is how I see the first round of the 2020 draft playing out, with the caveat of knowing some of this could end up wildly different once draft-night trades start to shift the draft order. This is both a mix of what I think teams will do and what I think they should do.
