While there is uncertainty surrounding the upcoming 2020 NBA Draft, NCAA prospects have started to make announcements about their future.
Some prospects mentioned below are simply testing the waters while others have both feet fully emerged with their focus set on the pros. Based on all of the reporting thus far, however, we have compiled the status of several of the top prospects in the nation.
We will continue to update this post with more information as news develops and more players announce what their decision for the future looks like in all of the chaos following the cancelation of the 2020 NCAA postseason.
Anthony Edwards, Georgia
Wing, 6-foot-5, 18 years old
Under head coach Tom Crean, the University of Georgia freshman had become a revelation in transition offense. Edwards ranked among the top five nationally in total scoring on these plays, per Synergy, averaging 5.7 points per game. He looked his best when his shot attempts come closer to the rim, aided by his 6-foot-9 wingspan. Farther from the basket, meanwhile, more than half of his 3-pointers were unassisted. This showed he is capable of creating his own shot. Edwards, however, was shooting just 30.3% from beyond the arc on the season.Still, the reason to like him as a top-three pick is more about flashes of greatness, which was evidenced when he averaged 21.8 points per game in February.
