NBA Mock Draft 2.0: Lack of intel leads to plenty of possibilities

The 2020 NBA Draft is filled with questions, given the lack of usual scouting, no NCAA tournament and perhaps little resembling a real Combine.

Furthermore, plenty of teams at the top (Golden State, Cleveland and maybe even Minnesota) are said to be exploring trading down, or out of the first round altogether. But there's still time to figure it out, with the draft reportedly not scheduled to take place until Nov. 18.

So whoever is drafted may not end up with the team that picked him. With all that in mind, here is our second attempt of a best early guess as to who might go where.

  1. Minnesota: Anthony Edwards, SG, Georgia
  2. Golden State: James Wiseman, C, Memphis
  3. Charlotte: LaMelo Ball, PG, USA
  4. Chicago: Killian Hayes, PG/SG, France
  5. Cleveland: Deni Avdija, SF/PF, Israel
  6. Atlanta: Onyeka Okongwu, PF/C, USC
  7. Detroit: Isaac Okoro, SF, Auburn
  8. New York: Devin Vassell, F/G, Florida State
  9. Washington: Obi Toppin, PF, Dayton
  10. Phoenix: Tyrese Haliburton, PG, Iowa State
  11. San Antonio: Aaron Nesmith, SF, Vanderbilt
  12. Sacramento: Saddiq Bey, SF, Villanova
  13. New Orleans: RJ Hampton, SG/PG, USA
  14. Boston: Patrick Williams, PF, Florida State
  15. Orlando: Precious Achiuwa, PF, Memphis
  16. Portland: Josh Green, SG, Arizona
  17. Minnesota: Jalen Smith, PF, Maryland
  18. Dallas: Tyrese Maxey, SG, Kentucky
  19. Brooklyn: Isaiah Stewart, PF, Washington
  20. Miami: Kira Lewis Jr., PG, Alabama
  21. Philadelphia: Cole Anthony, PG, North Carolina
  22. Denver: Tyrell Terry, PG, Stanford
  23. Utah: Tyler Bey, SF, Colorado
  24. Milwaukee: Nico Mannion, PG, Arizona
  25. Oklahoma City: Jaden McDaniels, SF, Washington
  26. Boston: Xavier Tillman, C, Michigan
  27. New York: Tre Jones, PG, Duke
  28. LA Lakers: Cassius Stanley, SG, Duke
  29. Toronto: Elijiah Hughes, G/F, Syracuse
