Taking a closer look at five of the riskiest prospects that are projected to be taken in the top 14 picks of the 2020 NBA Draft.
The 2020 NBA Draft process is not going to look like any in recent history. For one, all collegiate postseason tournaments were canceled – those games are often a huge recruiting ground for NBA teams and scouts. With those gone, each team is going to have to dig deeper into the pre-draft workouts (if there are any) and/or in the games played during the collegiate regular season.
In fact, for a few of these prospects, there will probably be scouts scouring old high school games from many of these players in an attempt to get a larger sample size of the players they can/can’t be at the next level.
You can make the case that because of the unprecedented circumstances that many teams find themselves in, this could end up being one of the most volatile drafts in recent history. Even though we might not know when the 2020 NBA Draft will actually take place, you can bet that most, if not all, teams are already knee-deep into their pre-draft process.
