One of the most compelling ways to quickly study any draft class is to look at the NBA comparisons for all of the prospects available.
Now that the 2020 NBA draft is less than two weeks ago, all of the folks looking for a crash course in learning more about the players that will be available for selection can use this as a guide for the potential outlook of each projected first-round draft pick.
This exercise is far from foolproof, of course, considering that outcomes for each prospect will depend heavily on the teams that draft them as well as the roles they are given and the development process that surrounds them.
But this does give a sense of the archetype that each top prospect fits in so casual fans can get a more succinct view of the next generation entering the league.
While our own opinion was also included, we also studied comparison models and surveyed other experts, including conversations with NBA scouts around the league, to give the best context available. The results included were the most common responses.
