Looking back at some of the previous NBA Draft classes, there are a few comparables. With no Zion Williamson or Luke Doncic type player available, this shaping up to be one of the weakest drafts of the century. All of them have their strengths, but they also come with plenty of question marks. The other names being discussed as high picks are James Wiseman, Obi Toppin, Onyeka Okongwu, Deni Avdija and Tyrese Haliburton. LaMelo Ball is getting plenty of buzz, but so was his older brother Lonzo - who went second overall in 2017 - and he hasn’t lived up to expectations. 1, but questions about his character have cooled down those talks. Georgia guard Anthony Edwards seemed poised to go No. Looking at the 2020 NBA Draft class, there are no surefire prospects who will change the league’s landscape for years to come. We knew Golden State would have a high pick, and the hope was that the Warriors would add a cornerstone piece not only to win now but for the future. General manager Bob Myers moved several players during the season as the Dubs stumbled to a 15-50 finish. We knew All-Star guard Klay Thompson would be out for the season after tearing his ACL during the 2019 NBA Finals, and with five-straight appearances in the finale, the organization needed to refresh itself. When Stephen Curry injured his hand during the fourth game of the season, the writing was on the wall that the Golden State Warriors would use 2019-20 as a reset year.
