2020 NBA Draft: Pelican Debrief Big Board 1.0

2. ONYEKA OKONGWU / BIG / USC

The second-best prospect in the 2020 NBA Draft is USC big-man Onyeka Okongwu. He is the ideal big for the modern NBA and has the potential to be a franchise cornerstone and multi-time All-Star in the NBA. He can do it all from his position, an excellent rebounder, superb passer, and smooth finisher around the rim, Okongwu is one of the most polished players in the draft. Factor in his defensive versatility and expanding shooting range and Okongwu is going to be a hard prospect to pass up.

Pro Comparisons: Bam Adebayo, Antonio McDyess, Tristan Thompson with more offense

1. ANTHONY EDWARDS / GUARD / GEORGIA

Finally, the number one prospect in the 2020 NBA Draft is Georgia Freshmen Anthony Edwards. Edwards is a physical scorer who loves using his power to drive into the lane. Right now his game is all about using his athletism but he’s slowly developing a bag of tricks. Between ball-handling moves to step backs, pull-ups, and reverses Edwards is the best scorer in the 2020 NBA Draft. Factor in strong defensive abilities and solid playmaking skills and Edwards is the closest thing to a can’t miss in this draft. If a team can just improve his shot selection a little bit then we’re talking about a top-10 shooting guard and potential All-NBA performer for years to come.

Pro Comparisons: Dwyane Wade, Victor Oladipo, Bigger Donovan Mitchell, Dion Waiters
