The Sport Chief's 2020 NBA Mock Draft
The draft is being held nearly 5 months later than usual, but tonight is the night that 60 men will get their named called to join an NBA roster. This year’s draft may be one of the most unusual, not only because of the pandemic’s restrictions, but also because of the fact that it doesn’t feel like there is a decisive number one pick in this draft. This probably hasn’t been the case since Anthony Bennett went number one in 2013… We know how that turned out. The virtual draft will be odd, but the NFL did a solid job with it, so I have no doubts that this will run pretty smooth. Three of us sat down and made our predictions for how we think the First Round of the draft will unfold tonight. Here are our Mock Drafts!
