The 2020 NBA Draft was originally scheduled to take place on June 25th. Obviously, with the NBA Playoffs still taking place down in Orlando, Florida as I write this, those plans have been changed, like pretty much everything else in our world. The NBA Draft plans have been unconfirmed since the season was altered, until now.
On Tuesday night, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski tweeted that, according to his sources, the NBA has selected November 18th as a new start date.
This should be of major interest to Michigan State Basketball fans as Cassius Winston and Xavier Tillman should both hear their names called on draft day this year.
ESPN Sources: NBA has locked in November 18th for the 2020 Draft. Date had been tentative.

Xavier Tillman, at this point, seems like a lock to me to go in the first round, at some point. Cassius Winston has recently been projected to go as high as the late first round in some mock drafts, but should at least go by the end of the second round.
