2020 NBA Draft Big Board 2.0: Assessing NBA Ready Prospects
By Nick Alvarez
6. AARON NESMITH / WING / VANDERBILT
Biggest Selling Point: 3 Point Shooting
Aaron Nesmith is the best shooter the entire 2020 NBA Draft and that will take him far in his rookie season. Nesmith shot an absurd 52 percent from deep throughout his career at Vanderbilt. He’ll get his shot off from anywhere too. He’s a dangerous threat for catch-and-shoot looks, but he’s also not afraid to pull-up from deep and let his shot fly. There are only a few things more valuable in the NBA than an elite shooter. Aaron Nesmith is this class’s marksman.

5. SADDIQ BEY / WING / VILLANOVA
Biggest Selling Point: A Complete Wing
Fresh out of the Jay Wright school of player development at Villanova, the question for Saddiq Bey is what can’t he do? The answer is not much. Bey is one of the most complete wings in the country. Ask him to defend any position and he’ll do it. Need a wing to hit an outside shot, Bey shot 41 percent from deep in college. Need a wing to make a smart play, Bey is more than just an average passer. Any team that drafts Saddiq Bey is getting a complete player who can do it all as soon as he takes the court in the NBA.
