The NBA is approaching an unprecedented offseason that will not only be held in the midst of a global pandemic, but teams will have less time to prepare for the upcoming campaign than a typical year.
After the NBA Finals end in October, teams will have about 10 weeks until the start of the 2020-21 season. One of the most important events over those two and a half months? The NBA Draft.
The draft order was set Aug. 20, when the lottery awarded the Minnesota Timberwolves the No. 1 overall pick. NCAA stars Anthony Edwards (Georgia) and James Wiseman (Memphis) are in contention with Illawarra’s LaMelo Ball for the top selection.
