THE 2020 NBA DRAFT IS HERE AT LAST. It was an interminably long draft process, thanks to the pandemic delaying everything, leaving more time than ever to prepare for one of the weakest draft classes in recent memory.

That means huge reaches and wild trade ups on draft night, since no one really knows where any player will actually be drafted.

I already spent 35,000 words breaking down every prospect by position, so make sure to read the deep dives on each player. Today’s big board is about ranking players in comparison to one another and figuring out how to value them in the NBA going forward.
