NBA Draft 2020: The NBA Draft is set to begin on the 18th of November. NBA Franchises have their eyes on new talent that might provide strength to their current roster, or add to its depth, or even lead them to the NBA Title.
The top 3 picks have been given to the Minnesota Timberwolves, Golden State Warriors, and the Charlotte Hornets, respectively. The teams with the worst record in the past season will pick the best talents in the 2020 NBA Draft to bolster their roster.
The Free Agency will begin a few days after the virtual NBA Draft takes place. Once the salary cap numbers are ironed out, it will provide the best circumstances for the teams to facilitate trades around the draft and the free agency.
