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

The 2020 NBA Draft is still in flux, as it remains to be seen when the actual event will be held as we deal with the COVID-19 pandemic.

Still, at some point, players will be drafted and head off to their NBA teams. Several first-round picks could end up coming from the SEC.

On Wednesday, Bleacher Report’s Zach Buckley updated his Round 1 projections, and as you can see below, he has 6 SEC stars going in the first round:

• No. 1 — Anthony Edwards, G, Georgia — Golden State Warriors
• No. 10 — Isaac Okoro, F, Auburn — Phoenix Suns
• No. 13 — Aaron Nesmith, F, Vanderbilt — New Orleans Pelicans
• No. 15 — Kira Lewis Jr., G, Alabama — Orlando Magic
• No. 16 — Tyrese Maxey, G, Kentucky — Minnesota Timberwolves
• No. 21 — Robert Woodard II, G, Mississippi State — Denver Nuggets

Things can still change once we can resume activities, but for now, this is a good look at where things stand for these SEC standouts.
