• Position: Shooting Guard
• Potential: 88

The first selection of the 2020 NBA Draft is Anthony Edwards, picked by the Minnesota Timberwolves! With an 83 Driving Layup, 81 Mid-Range Shot, and 90 Hands, it is clear he’ll be in the running for Rookie of the Year in your MyLeague. Anthony Edwards’ NBA 2K21 rating is a 77 OVR.

James Wiseman – 77 Overall

• Team: Golden State Warriors
• Position: Center
• Potential: 88

James Wiseman is the second selection in the 2020 NBA Draft, picked by the Golden State Warriors! The 19-year-old has an outstanding 85 Offensive Rebound rating, so any misses with Steph Curry can easily be made up. All of his Close Range attributes also land in the 80s, making him hard to pass up in any game mode. James Wiseman’s NBA 2K21 rating is a 77 OVR.

Lamelo Ball – 77 Overall

LaMelo Ball is the third pick in the 2020 NBA Draft, picked by the Charlotte Hornets!

LaMelo Ball’s NBA 2K21 rating is a 77 OVR.

Obi Toppin – 76 Overall

• Team: New York Knicks
• Position: Power Forward
• Potential: 85

Obi Toppin definitely shows signs of the Clippers star with his 85 Driving Dunk and 80 Three-Point Shooting ratings. Defensively, he will need a major boost. The wing only has rebounding stats that lie in the 50s and 60s.

The 20-year-old averaged 20 points, 7.5 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.2 blocks, and one steal in 31 games last season at the University of Dayton. He proved that he could score from virtually all over the floor, highlighted by his 39% shooting from 3-point range.

Onyeka Okongwu – 76 Overall

• Team: Atlanta Hawks
• Position: Power Forward
• Potential: 85

The Atlanta Hawks selected forward/center Onyeka Okongwu from the University of Southern California with the sixth overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft.

The 6’9 Okongwu led the Trojans in points per game, rebounds per game, and blocks per game in his only collegiate season, averaging 16.2 points, 8.6 boards, and 2.7 blocks in 28 appearances (all starts) in 2019-20.

At 6’9, he’s a great ball getter with his 79 Offensive rebounds and 75 Defensive Rebounds ratings. He cannot shoot like most forwards, but his 85 Standing Dunk makes him a worthy threat in the post.

Deni Avdija – 75 Overall

• Team: Washington Wizards
• Position: Small Forward
• Potential: 81

Deni Avdija is a 19-year-old who has been very impressive for Maccabi Tel Aviv in his professional career already. He has been able to show off his unique skills at a high-level for a few seasons now, making him a valuable draft prospect.

He was the youngest player to ever play for Maccabi Tel Aviv starting in 2017. Avdija made the most of his opportunity and eventually developed into a key player. He averaged 12.3 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 2.4 assists per game last season. In addition to his club career, Avdija also starred for his country. He helped Israel win the 2019 FIBA U20 European Championship and he was named MVP.

If you are low on NBA 2k21 mt or funds in MyLeague and need someone for cheap, settling for Avdija is a fantastic movie. With all of his shot types being rated in the 70s, he’s an all-around threat that will at least notch a 40% field goal percentage.

Patrick Williams – 75 Overall

• Team: Chicago Bulls
• Position: Small Forward
• Potential: 84

Patrick Williams went fourth overall to the Chicago Bulls in the 2020 NBA Draft.

Williams was named the ACC Sixth Man of the Year last season after averaging 9.2 points, four rebounds, one block, one assist, and one steal per game.

Although a top-10 rated rookie, Williams’s 68 Driving Layup and 60 Standing Dunk show why he isn’t number four on this list. With 88 Stamina, possibly consider him if you just need a tireless decoy all game.

Isaac Okoro – 75 Overall

• Team: Cleveland Cavaliers
• Position: Small Forward
• Potential: 84

The Cleveland Cavaliers selected Isaac Okoro. He is an exceptional athlete and can drive to the rim with ease. NBA 2K21 has captured this perfectly and has given him an 83 lateral quickness attribute and an 82 driving layup attribute.

Okoro was named to the All-SEC Second Team after averaging 12.9 points, 4.4 rebounds, and two assists. He is considered one of the best defensive players in the draft, and he projects to be a strong offensive player inside of the paint.

Devin Vassell – 74 Overall

• Team: San Antonio Spurs
• Position: Small Forward
• Potential: 84

The Spurs may have found their next Manu Ginobili – for good and bad reasons.

After not being highly recruited out of high school, Devin Vassell became a rotational player for Florida State as a freshman. He averaged 4.5 points and 1.5 rebounds per game. Vassell vastly improved as a sophomore, as he averaged 12.7 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 1.6 assists per game. His play earned him All-ACC Second-Team honors, as Florida State was a National Championship contender near the end of the season with a 26-5 record.

Vassell’s 81 Three-Point Shooting makes him an absolute sniper in your lineup, enabling him to hit shots from most spots behind the line. However, with a 66 Driving Layup and 60 Driving Dunk, the simplest of shots may end up as turnovers.

Killian Hayes – 74 Overall

• Team: Detroit Pistons
• Position: Point Guard
• Potential: 85

Killian Hayes is one of the youngest players in the draft as an 18-year-old. Despite his youth, he has still played well at the pro level and is one of the best prospects in the 2020 NBA Draft class.

At 16 years old, Hayes started playing with Cholet’s senior team. He averaged just 2.2 points per game but got his feet wet with experience. In his second season with Cholet, Hayes upped his game with 7.2 points per game. This past season, he joined Ratiopharm Ulm, where he averaged 12.8 points and 6.2 assists per game. Hayes also has great experience with the French National Team as he has won a gold medal, silver medal and won the MVP of the 2017 FIBA U16 European Championship.

The French baller isn’t someone you’d ideally want on defense in online play. Someone could easily take advantage of his 55 Defensive Consistency and 50 Draw Foul ratings. That being said, he can facilitate some great offensive work with his 84 Pass IQ and 79 Driving Layup ratings.
