1 pick, but his size and advanced playmaking are tantalizing. Ball carries more risk than you'd like for a No. He's not a perfect fit next to D'Angelo Russell, but the Wolves are not in a position to be drafting for need. I still think the ideal outcome for Minnesota is trading down, but assuming they do hold on to the pick, Ball is the most likely selection. We opted against explicitly predicting trades, though a number of potential scenarios are discussed below.Īfter James Anderson got the first pick in Mock Draft 1.0, Nick Whalen leads things off with Minnesota: Here is our final projection for the 2020 Draft, which kicks off at 7:00p.m. But if one thing is certain it's that there's plenty of talent in this class, even if much of that talent projects closer to good role player rather than future NBA superstar.

Beyond the top three, the draft becomes even more unpredictable. We think LaMelo Ball, James Wiseman and Anthony Edwards will be the top three picks in some order, but that's nowhere near a lock - especially as trade rumors swirl around all three teams picking in that range.

In terms of the draft itself, there's still quite a bit to be sorted out. Trades have dominated the last few days of the offseason, and the draft is a catalyst that could prompt even more player movement. We are now just hours away from the long-awaited 2020 NBA Draft. This article is part of our NBA Mock Draft series.
