We’re getting closer and closer to the delayed and modified 2020 NBA Draft. In fact, we’re just a couple of days away from the virtual event that will come to your television sets and streaming devices on Wednesday. And yeah, Ohio State could have a horse in the race.
That’s because former big man Kaleb Wesson is projected to have a shot at being drafted somewhere in the two rounds of the draft. Opinions vary on when and if he’ll be taken, but we’ve been following it closely.
One site that we’ve been watching is Rookie Wire as things have progressed from the end of the college basketball season all the way through this week. Writer Brad Kalbrosky has been all over the news and projections of where the prospects will go this year, and he believes Wesson may sneak in there and has him projected on his big board of available draftees.
But where on the list does Wesson fall?

What Brad Kalbrosky says about Wesson
“Ohio State’s Kaleb Wesson averaged 14.0 points with 9.3 rebounds, adding one block per game, in 2019-20. He connected on 1.5 shots per game from 3-point range while shooting 41.1% from beyond the arc. He is a stretch big who has been productive on pick-and-pop possessions and passing out of short roll opportunities. Overall, his game compares favorably to Orlando Magic big man and NBA All-Star Nikola Vucevic.”
