The 2020 NBA draft is going down on Wednesday at 8 p.m. ET on ESPN. Here is everything you need to know heading into the action, including how to watch the draft, the full draft order, a breakdown of the top prospects, their likely landing spots and the latest intel from ESPN’s NBA experts.
This is one of the strangest drafts in a long time, featuring uncertainty throughout the lottery, plenty of trade talks ready to shake up the evening and free agency beginning just two days after the draft concludes. Catch up on everything here.
This class features a top tier of Illawarra guard LaMelo Ball, Georgia guard Anthony Edwards and Memphis center James Wiseman, though there’s little consensus among NBA teams or draft experts on how to rank those three prospects.
A second tier likely making up the rest of the top nine picks includes:
Onyeka Okongwu | F/C | USC
Obi Toppin | F | Dayton
Isaac Okoro | G/F | Auburn
Tyrese Haliburton | G | Iowa State
Patrick Williams | F | Florida State
