5 SEC stars projected to go in Round 1 of Bleacher Report’s latest 2020 NBA Mock Draft

The 2020 NBA Draft is still a few months away, but with the COVID-19 outbreak canceling a number of pre-draft evaluation opportunities, it’ll be tough for teams to scout top prospects.

Recently, Bleacher Report expert Jonathan Wasserman updated his first-round mock draft, and as you can see, he included 5 SEC stars.

And, interestingly, all 5 of them are projected to be taken in the first half of the first round:

• No. 1 — Anthony Edwards, G, Georgia — Golden State Warriors
• No. 9 — Isaac Okoro, F, Auburn — Washington Wizards
• No. 12 — Tyrese Maxey, G, Kentucky — Sacramento Kings
• No. 13 — Aaron Nesmith, F, Vanderbilt — New Orleans Saints
• No. 15 — Kira Lewis Jr., G, Alabama — Orlando Magic

There’s still time for things to change and workouts to be rescheduled, but for now, this is a good look at how things stand.
