The 2020 NBA draft was originally scheduled to take place in June. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2019-20 season was extended into the summer, meaning the beginning of the 2020-21 offseason would start later than normal for teams like LSU.
That time is now.
The 2020 NBA draft is scheduled to take place on Wednesday, Nov. 18.
With the draft rapidly approaching, draft boards are set, and teams likely have all the intel they need for each of the 2020 draft prospects.
Bryan Kalbrosky of Rookie Wire recently released his latest big board, which featured the top 100 prospects for this week’s two-round draft.

And a pair of former LSU Tigers were among Kalbrosky’s top 100.
Guard Skylar Mays is listed as the No. 59 overall prospect, according to Rookie Wire. As a senior for LSU last season, Mays led the Tigers in scoring, averaging 16.7 points per game.
Mays has the ability to play either guard spot at the next level on both ends of the court, and his experience is a plus for NBA teams in such a wacky offseason.
The other former LSU star is 6-foot-6 forward, Emmitt Williams.

As a sophomore for the Tigers last season, Williams averaged 13.3 points and 6.6 rebounds per contest.
Williams is listed as the No. 67 overall player in Rookie Wire’s top 100.
Tremont Waters was the last LSU player picked in the NBA draft, which occurred last year when he went No. 51 overall to the Boston Celtics.
