2020 NBA Draft Big Board 1.0 as the Season Concludes
March Madness may be cancelled, but that doesn’t mean we can’t check in on the 2020 NBA Draft class to see where things stand…
WE WERE SUPPOSED TO BE WATCHING MARCH MADNESS RIGHT NOW. Just one week ago, conference tournaments were starting to heat up, and the most fun month of the college basketball season was at our fingertips. Instead, the season ended abruptly at the hands of the coronavirus and took March Madness with it. College basketball is cancelled.
For NBA teams and scouts, this was an especially painful cancellation. Most players were about to have their three or four biggest tests of the season in a playoff setting. March is a real opportunity for players to boost their stock, even solidify a spot in the first round. Now we’re not even sure when the 2020 NBA Draft will take place or what the lead-up will look like.
My original plan was to release Big Board 1.0 a week ago, with where things stood heading into March Madness and which players and skills I’d have my eye on. Alas. I still have plenty of games on the DVR, and we should get measurements and some sort of Combine and interviews at some point. There’s still more to learn. But it’s helpful to see where things stand for now.
A few quick ground rules, and let’s get to the Big Board…
