2020 NBA Mock Draft: James Wiseman too good to pass up at No. 1; Tyrese Haliburton jumps into top five

Watch Now: NBA Mock Draft 1.0: Timberwolves select G Anthony Edwards with the No. 2 pick (4:12)

With the remainder of the NBA season still to play out and the lottery order yet to be set, the NBA Draft feels like eons away. But the calendar’s slow burn is steadily moving towards draft night, which is just shy of three months out. 

In the new timeline on which teams are operating, the benefit of additional time is spent digging deeper on prospects; not only are they looking into their game, but they’re studying what drives them, who they are, and how they’ll fit in the NBA. It’s given teams real time to scour every crevice of the draft preparation spectrum, and many teams are becoming more comfortable and confident with what they’re getting with this class.

Of course, all of those opinions formed in pandemic prep are subject to change — teams haven’t conducted in-person workouts or face-to-face interviews, nor have they gathered medical data en masse or got measurements via a central event like the NBA Combine — but a mock draft is nothing if not a snapshot in time. So with that, here’s an updated look at the first round projections pre-Disney bubble and pre-lottery night on how we think things could shake out.
