2020 NBA Draft: Everything you need to know about the draft, mock drafts, picks, order, trades, selections

2020 NBA Draft- After pushing back the date multiple times, the NBA Draft is finally here. While this year's crop of prospects aren't being touted as franchise cornerstones, there's still a lot of quality pieces to be had in the draft.

Teams and draftees alike have undergone a draft process unlike any other, with the league holding a virtual draft show for the first time ever, and multiple events like the draft combine having to be significantly altered or canceled altogether due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

This is the latest the draft has been held in league history, and the first time since 1975 that it hasn't happened in June. The NBA has had to cram three months of an offseason into a few weeks to get things back on schedule for the future, and it all starts with Wednesday's draft.

The Minnesota Timberwolves have the No. 1 pick in the draft, and without a consensus top choice there's been plenty of rumors around who they'll select, or if they'll trade down. We could be in for an interesting night with plenty of trades and shocking selections, so here's everything you need to know ahead of the big night.
