To just begin the season the top high school recruit in this years draft, James Wiseman, only played 3 games this year in college before decided to prepare for the draft. He had a suspension, due to the University of Memphis head coach Penny paying for him and his families moving expenses, which ultimately lead him to leave college. While other top recruits in LaMelo Ball and RJ Hampton decided to forgo college and playing overseas in Australia. LaMelo Ball also went ahead and bought his Australian Basketball Team. On top of all of this, the draft doesn't look that great with people comparing this draft to the 2013 draft, where the top players could go later on the draft.
The actual evaluations of this draft just got harder since March Madness just got cancelled. Now we will see what scouts actually are doing their jobs vs the ones who just mail in the college season and wait till March Madness and the combine. Without March Madness now we won't be able to see how the top recruits will perform in the biggest games of their lives, seeing if they will fold under pressure or if they will thrive in under all the pressure.
The 2020 NBA draft will be remembered as the wildest, weirdest draft of all time. We will see mock drafts be busted and people fall or rise in the draft like we've never seen before. If this years draft has no fans in attendance, then some teams will most likely take more risks in this years draft.
