The 2020 NBA Draft was a strange one – with virtual interviews and no March Madness complicating the evaluation process – and this led to an INSANE draft that included Anthony Edwards, James Wiseman, LaMel Ball, Tyrese Haliburton, Desmond Bane, and more!

Video Rating: / 5
Did dirty to jalen when they scoring 15 ppg on high efficiency at only 22 years old…not the pacer fault he got him on pennys on the dollar…lol
Wiseman overhated
I thought Haliburton was going top 7. I hope he goes on to prove all of them, even the dumbass Kings, wrong
Jalen Smith is averages 13 points and 8 boards per game on 53% FG and 37% 3pt shooting in 24 minutes a game since he went to Indiana, how is he an F?
Tyrese got higher grade than ANT and Lamelo lmao 🤣 you really love Tyrese
Jalen smith is underrated af
Okoro definitely traveled at the beginning @4:30
That was an "incredibly talented draft"? Really? There is really only Ant who looks like a future possible superstar. LaMelo is a one way all-star. Hali is a good NBA player but his ceiling is not all that high. And after that it's a bunch of role players. Useful NBA players sure, but nothing that stands out.
ANT IS A+ DUDE
Saddiq Bey should of been the 3rd pick out of this draft✔ he dropped a few 30 points games in his rookie season, increased his scoring average to 16 pts a game in his second season(2021-2022) and dropped 51 points on cole anthony and the" Orlando Magic" i think Killian Hayes gonna turn out to be a late bloomer in his career, probably not with my pistons😈
i feel like you only watched ant his rookie year lmao, such a basic casual answer for a number 1 pick who should be ranked A+
Calling killian hayes a bad defender is laughable
1992 draft
Basketball is a game of length Steph curry is the only exception! The league is realizing that there is only 1 Steph and Defense wins championships! Put it this way if you take 2 guys with the same exact skills the longer guy will always win because of reach advantage. So the NBA TEAMS TRIED THAT SMALL BALL STUFF FOR A MIN BUT REALIZED THERE IS ONLY 1 Steph curry so they had to go back getting the tallest most skilled players is the only true way to Win CHAMPIONSHIPS
Wiseman is lucky as f to play with Steph and GSW.
You can't give Deni the same grade as Isaac. If Okoro is a B-, Avdija gotta be a B+
Bro… Killian Hayes and Jalen Smith are not F grades 😂
Wtf would the Warriors select LeMelo Ball?🤔 point guard was not and is not a need for the Warriors, it was size! I just don't get the logic 😂… Are you saying LeMelo would be the Warriors lead guard? Because that means Draymond would be the lead play maker and that's ridiculous lol

Killian hayes is not terrible on defense at all. He has the same defensive rating as cade. Just a little bit behind Jerami Grant. 113 is right above league average. So technically he's a plus defender.
Vassell deserves way more flowers
My gawd that draft class is very weak….
Man you may not have meant it this way, but this seemed disrespectful as hell to Devin Vassell. I mean I felt like you think deni is better. Devin is giving the spurs nearly 20 ppg on good efficiency while he has no help and no true PG to help him. I understand that Halliburton gets the edge but devin is looking like the next kris Middleton and deserves his props!
CLT Hornets need to get Wemby or Scoot in this draft or I could see them moving on from a lot of players and sadly should eventually move LaMelo if things don’t improve in the next draft
it's worth mentioning the celtics drafted neismith, pritchard & bane in this draft, bane being the latest pick between them. and they traded bane to memphis…
Haliburton should’ve been the #1 pick
Damn absolutely no credit to Vassell
U haven’t watched killian Hayes THIS season obviously. He’s the pistons go to ball handler and is putting up numbers. Typical YouTuber only probably watches lakers and Celtics 🤧
Killian has been shooting it well the past two months. He’s becoming a really good player.
I don't this guy actually watch these players games. I think he just look up highlights and boxscores.
Hayes has really turned it around this season after a terrible start to the season also, also with him you have to remember that he played like 5 games his first season before being out for almost the rest of the season so it is practically his second season not his third
No Payton Pritchard. Automatic dislike.
I feel that if there was a March madness that year Desmond Bane would have gone a lot sooner
Bane is the 3rd best player in this draft.
NC State WOLFPACK
Yea I guess Tre Jones (2nd round pick) isn’t worth talking about…. 2nd in the league in assist to turnover ratio. Starting PG for the Spurs.
Deni, maxey and vassell are all really good
LaMelo is not a winner in the NBA. 😮
James Wiseman is going to be fine and when he does that we will see who knows what they are talking about. 🎉
Did Isaiah Stewart die??
