NBA Draft 2020: Final mock draft and predictions for all 60 picks
The clear-cut best player on Kentucky this past season, Quickley led the team with 16.1 ppg and ended up SEC Player of the Year. Even more impressive was the sophomore’s improvement from three-point range, making 43% from deep. Also helps that he made 92% from the free throw line.
"Quickly gives the Sixers some much-needed shooting and a serviceable ball-handler behind Ben Simmons. As the SEC Player of the Year, Quickley feels like a second-round steal for Philly. – Collin Helwig"
What makes Quickley potentially fall to the second round is his tweener size at 6’3 and 190 pounds as a shooting guard, since he’s not much of a pure point guard. But for a team like Philadelphia who will be searching for guards that can create their own offense this offseason, this selection could have positive consequences to upgrade their bench.
The Big 12 Rookie of the Year averaged 15.0 ppg and make 43% of his three-point attempts. A great catch-and-shoot guard, Ramsey is a natural shooting guard that can be highly productive off the bench or even as a starter that doesn’t require much usage.
"The highest-ranked recruit in Texas Tech history would be a great pick for the Kings, bringing some much-needed scoring punch to one of the more lackluster offenses in the league. – Michael Walton"
With Bogdan Bogdanović likely gone as a free agent and Buddy Hield involved in current trade talks, Sacramento will do well to add a sharpshooter at some point in this draft. Ramsey would be a good fit to play alongside De’Aaron Fox in the backcourt and has a high ceiling in terms of development.
A breakout player for Mississippi State, Woodard averaged 11.4 ppg and 6.4 rpg on 43% three-point shooting. His 6’7 and 230-pound size gives his great measurables for a player that can play and defend multiple positions at the next level.
"Woodard is a solid shooter and finisher, but he prides himself on defense and is one of the best defenders in the draft. He can guard 4 positions and will be able to contribute instantly. – Josh Whitlow"
That kind of versatility is important for a franchise like the 76ers, who needs players who can do multiple things. Woodard projects as a valuable role player who can come off the bench and produce right away, giving him a shot to make the rotation.
One of the best pure athletes in the draft class, McDaniels is a versatile 6’9 combo forward who can do just about everything. The issue will be refining him and improving in his decision-making process. Otherwise, he’ll play himself out of the rotation for any team.
"While he has shown very little consistency, McDaniels has shown flashes of being able to do a little bit of everything. I believe combing his athleticism and versatility with the right development program could lead to him being a steal at 33. – Nick Raponi"
Minnesota can afford to take a chance on McDaniels, who can play alongside Karl-Anthony Towns anywhere on the court and can develop into a legit 3rd or 4th option on offense. He may not be a factor out the gate but could be a project worth working on longterm.
