With the new NBA Draft guidelines in order, college players are put in an interesting situation on deciding for the draft. The deadline to withdraw from the draft and keep remaining college eligibility was on August 3, giving players a solid amount of time to get back to campus if they decide to withdraw. Without a combine or consistent workouts with teams, this years draft is going to be a guessing game based on players’ virtual interviews with teams as well as tape on how they played in college. The NBA Draft Lottery is scheduled for August 20, as we will get a much better idea of who will go where after all the picks are set. With the final possible day of the NBA playoffs being October 7, the 2020 NBA Draft is scheduled for October 16. Here is my 4th and final addition of my Big Board, a special top 80 look at where I rank the players who have all decided to keep their names in the draft pool and will be gearing up for a special mid-October draft.
