NBA Draft Tracker 2020: All the Players Planning to Go Pro

We're still a few months away from the NBA draft on June 25 at the Barclays Center, but plenty of players are already thinking about their chance to go pro.

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, there's a possibility the date of the draft could be pushed back. Top players like Memphis's James Wiseman and Georgia's Anthony Edwards have stated their intentions to enter the draft, and many others will declare in the coming weeks.
