Golden State Warriors
2020 NBA Re-Draft: James Wiseman still goes No. 2; Tyrese Haliburton No. 3
The 2020 NBA rookie class wasn't expected to be special. While there wasn't a surefire generational talent at the top like LeBron James or Zion Williamson, the 2020 class has been impressive early on this season.
James Wiseman got off to a hot start for the Warriors, showcasing several skills that have Golden State believing he is their franchise center of the future. LaMelo Ball has dazzled with his passing and rebounding ability for the Charlotte Hornets, and Patrick Williams has quieted his doubters early on.
In Sacramento, Tyrese Haliburton already looks to be the steal of the draft. He has shown the ability to mesh well with De'Aaron Fox and does whatever the Kings need him to do at that point in time.
Now, it's way too early to redo the 2020 draft that took place *checks notes* two months ago. It's going to take years to get a full grasp of who made the right pick and who whiffed. We haven't seen Onyeka Okongwu yet and Obi Toppin only has played in two games.
But we're going to do a brief, lottery-only redraft based on the returns from the first 10-12 games. Okongwu, Toppin and Killian Hayes will not appear because they have received incomplete grades due to injuries. Given that we haven't seen enough of them to get any grasp of their NBA potential, I took them off the board.
Here's a way, way, way too early 2020 NBA Draft redux based solely on what we've seen on the court so far.
