The 2020 NBA Draft lottery took place on Thursday, so now we know how the first 14 picks of October’s draft will play out.
That means a new round of mock drafts are coming out, and this week, CBS Sports analyst Kyle Boone released his updated Round 1 projections.
As you can see below, he projects 5 SEC stars to go in Round 1, and all of them are in the first half of the first round:
- No. 1 — Anthony Edwards, G, Georgia — Minnesota Timberwolves
- No. 5 — Isaac Okoro, F, Auburn — Cleveland Cavaliers
- No. 6 — Aaron Nesmith, F, Vanderbilt — Atlanta Hawks
- No. 10 — Kira Lewis Jr., G, Alabama — Phoenix Suns
- No. 15 — Tyrese Maxey, G, Kentucky — Orlando Magic
Teams will be doing their homework on the top guys in the draft class over the next 2 months in preparation for the draft. Can any other SEC standouts sneak into the Round 1 conversation?
