NBA Draft 2020: 6 great landing spots for top NCAA Basketball players

With NCAA Basketball and the NBA both moving into the second stage of their seasons, the NBA Draft simultaneously inches closer as well. Although they might not end up there, these are the best fits for the game’s best young players.

With the “one and done” rule still in effect despite some frequent chatter provoking the NBA to bid farewell to it, NCAA Basketball’s best players will most likely follow the examples set by Zion Williamson, Tyler Herro, and Coby White, by proceeding to jump ship from their collegiate programs three years early and declare for the NBA Draft.

Afterward, each NBA hopeful will certainly look to lock himself in with an NBA franchise poised offer a suitable basketball environment, tailor-made for him, and once more mimicking players like Williamson, Herro, and White, who at least for now, all appear comfortable with their new teams.

When matching up a budding prospect with an NBA team, one must look at things from all different angles to try and forecast whether or not the two sides might make a good pair. The players, their agents, and every NBA scout knows this. However, at least a handful of new NBA initiates find themselves trapped in poor situations every year. D’Angelo Russell and the Los Angeles Lakers, Markelle Fultz and the Philadelphia 76ers, Victor Oladipo and the Orlando Magic, as well as several others all got it wrong on draft day.

Despite these failed matchups serving as warning signs for teams and players going forward, this year’s draft will still without a doubt include some mistakes. Nonetheless, some potential alliances between young players and teams appear impossible to fail, as the pair already appears as a “match made in heaven.” These players might not get picked by these teams on draft night, but they definitely should be.
