5 SEC stars projected to go in Round 1 of CBS Sports’ latest 2020 NBA Mock Draft

Now that we know which underclassmen have declared for the 2020 NBA Draft, mock drafts are being updated.

Players have until June (though that date is likely to be pushed back) to decide whether to return to school or stay in the draft class, so mock drafts will likely change again over the next few weeks.

This week, CBS Sports analyst Matt Norlander released a mock draft, and as you can see below, he has 5 SEC players going in Round 1:

• No. 1 — Anthony Edwards, G, Georgia — Golden State Warriors
• No. 7 — Isaac Okoro, F, Auburn — Chicago Bulls
• No. 10 — Aaron Nesmith, F, Vanderbilt — Phoenix Suns
• No. 11 — Tyrese Maxey, G, Kentucky — San Antonio Spurs
• No. 19 — Kira Lewis Jr., G, Alabama — Dallas Mavericks

Will Edwards end up going No. 1 when the draft takes place? We’ll find out soon enough.
