  • BallCourt - NBA Draft Day 2020

    CWN Publisher 0 Comments

    This episode of Ballcourt - Coach Drew analyzes the drafts and potential trades for the NBA Draft 2020.  Everything is moving at a fast pace.  The season will be back up in 30 days.  Wow!

    Topics Include:

    •  NBA coming back at a fevered pace
    • Tentative 2020/21 NBA schedule:
      • December 22: Opening night. All-Star Break (minus an ASG): March 5-10May 16: Regular season endsMay 17-to-21: Play-in tournament for 7-to-10 seeds. May 22: First-round playoffsJune 7: Conference semifinalsJune 22: Conference FinalsJuly 8-22: NBA Finals
    •  Draft Results 2020 Draft Notes:
      • Anthony Edwards SG Georgia
        Edwards, at 6-5 with a 6-9 wingspan and elite athletic tools, is a natural shooting guard that could potentially defend 1-3 and even make enough plays for teammates to moonlight as a point guard. His best trait by far is his overall scoring. While Edwards isn't quite an elite shooter yet, he is a sophisticated individual shot-creator for his age that gets to the basket and thrives in transition. He'll put the ball in the basket from Day 1. 
      • James Wiseman C Memphis
        His raw talent virtually guaranteed that would be the case. Wiseman is an elite athlete at 7-1, and with a 7-6 wingspan, he has the tools to be among the NBA's best rim-protectors.
      • Lamelo Ball G Ilwara Hawks
        Ball, a 6-7 point guard, is one of the best passers ever to enter the NBA Draft. He shares his brother's gift for showmanship in transition, but pairs it with a far more functional arsenal of half-court passes that should make him an effective pick-and-roll ball-handler from the moment he steps on an NBA floor. 
      • Obi Toppin  PF Dayton
        Toppin is going to be an excellent pick-and-roll finisher even as a rookie thanks to his elite leaping ability and craft near the basket. That alone makes him a valuable offensive player.
    • The new look NBA ( trades and rumors)

         According to his agent, Charles Briscoe, Dwight Howard is signing a one-year deal with the Philadelphia 76ers.

         

         This free agency move follows a championship season with the Los Angeles Lakers, during which he contributed great minutes and a number of solid plays as a rebounding and defensive anchor. His departure will leave a hole in LA's front-court, as he joins the 76ers, who also acquired Danny Green through a trade. According to sources, Howard agreed to a veterans minimum exception of $2.6 million.

         

         Only time will tell how his veteran presence and skill-set will affect the 76ers in the upcoming season.
