We are a day away from the 2020 NBA draft and not many things are certain except the time. We already have seen a couple of trades that have affected the board. We still don’t have a consensus #1 pick as of yet. I don’t think any experts will be right for most of these picks. This is my final mock of the first round. I have combined some rumors and the individual team needs to construct some trades in my mock draft. That doesn’t mean I am pushing for these trades. There are rumors of surprisingly high picks I ignored in making this mock as well. These are some of the moves I would not be shocked to see happening this week. I hope you enjoy my first round draft mock with trades. We are all looking forward to the real thing this Wednesday at 7:30 PM.

And with the first pick of the 2020 NBA draft…
