After the longest wait for a draft class in the history of the league, the players in the 2020 Draft will finally be given their new homes and they’ll have to get to those homes rather quickly as training camp is set to start across the league on Dec. 1. And as of draft day morning, Anthony Edwards, who is represented by Klutch Sports, is the new odds-on favorite to go No. 1 in Wednesday’s draft.
According to our friends at BetMGM, Edwards is now a -150 favorite to be the No. 1 pick in the draft. The Minnesota Timberwolves hold the No. 1 pick but this draft has been rife with speculation everybody in the top-three would be willing to trade down. LaMelo Ball is the next closest favorite, at +130, according to BetMGM.
For the last few weeks, Edwards, Ball, and James Wiseman have been considered to be a consensus top three. But with a team in Golden State looking to contend next season, as well as Minnesota and Charlotte trying to compete for the playoffs, this draft has the potential to go off script from the very beginning.
