How does the 2020 NBA Draft work and who needs what?

The Commissioner of the NBA, Adam Silver, was due to host the 2020 NBA Draft at the Barclays Centre in Brooklyn, New York in front of league officials and thousands of fans, with draftees presenting the jersey of their new team on stage.

However, for this year’s draft proceedings, Silver will host the event virtually, like that of the 2020 NFL Draft. The NBA’s Commissioner will call out draft picks from the ESPN studios in Bristol, Connecticut with no fans or players in attendance.

All draftees will be presented via videoconference, with reaction from general managers and head coaches throughout the proceedings.

Which teams need what from the 2020 NBA Draft?

With the first selection in the 2020 NBA Draft, Minnesota Timberwolves are rumoured to be looking at improving their backcourt combo with the addition of another guard.

That means they could end up choosing either point guard LaMelo Ball or shooting guard Anthony Edwards, who have both been linked with the number one selection in this year’s draft, to form a partnership with D’Angelo Russell.

Whoever doesn’t get selected first between the two could wind up on Chicago Bulls roster, with Golden State Warriors and Charlotte Hornets ahead of them more in need of bigs rather than guards.

Much like Michael Jordan in the 1984 NBA Draft, could those that pass up on the prospective Bulls pick rue their choices?

Warriors suffered from a whole host of injuries last season, but with Steph Curry, Klay Thompson and co. coming back, there’s just one glaring position they need to fill.

Upgrading the frontcourt must be the mindset of those behind the Warriors number two pick, with James Wiseman the ideal draftee to fill the void at centre they so desperately need to fill.

New York Knicks have been hovering around the bottom of the pile for a while now, and there’s one key position they fail to address every time the NBA Draft comes to town.

They’re in desperate need for a franchise point guard that has decent size, buckets of creativity and fits in well to combine with RJ Barrett.

2019 NBA champions Toronto Raptors could be in for a big offseason, with plenty of potential roster losses rumoured. They should look to pick up another shooting guard with solid shooting stats to offset any potential losses.
