Red Auerbach Timer doesn't start until after the IRL draft but if you know who you want regardless, feel free to make your pick whenever.

This is probably one of the worst drafts to do before the NBA

Almost in any case it is a terrible idea unless you absolutely need to select the player or you are trying to send some sort of statement that the player is so much better than every other option, ha. Real life Draft is more than 1 month away and workouts are yet to happen. And if you pick a player and gets injured in a workout or somewhere else before now and then there is no way back with the pick.

Yeah I agree and I am not a fan of the idea to do our draft before the NBA draft in any case but especially this year,the team to which the prospects get drafted to is really important.Plus there is no consensus no. 1 pick either.

I mean, I feel like there is a consensus Number 1 for the most part but yeah, there is no point in hurrying.

And it probably is a tough draft to pick in with lots of players in similar tiers but it doesn't get close to the 2013 Draft. That thing was wild. Like nbadraft.net had Anthony Bennett going 10th in their latest Mock Draft and he went 1st.

Update related to Boston’s and New York’s protected picks this year.

[Justin Timberlake]

Stuff The Magic Dragon I should still have 21. I only traded pick 20 to Toronto

[Steve Jobs]

Ok. I was wrong. LOL. There seems to be lot of noise right now though. Or fake news from questionable sources covered as actual information. Same happened with the salary cap. One day they would say one thing. Then, the other it would be the opposite.

[Brian Scalabrine]

Scott Pilgrim ya gonna kick us off or make us wait two days?

With the #1 Pick of the D720 Draft, the  Philadelphia 76ers select Lamelo Ball from the Illawarra Hawks. (Was there ever any doubt?)

WE BIG BALLER NOW BABY 
REUNITING THE BIG BALLER COACH LAVAR AND HIS BIG BALLER SON LAMELO
WE IN THE MIDDLE OF A DYNASTY
NOT 7, NOT 6, NOT 5, NOT 4, NOT 3, NOT 2, NOT 1

[Stuff The Magic Dragon]

Someone’s repeating

[Shaq O'Neal]

Ben Wallace otc

[Jackie Kong]

76ers also selected Lonzo 3 seasons ago. Lonzo then became Fox and now, Fox becomes LaMelo.

[Ben Wallace]

With the 2nd overall pick in the D720 2020 Rookie Draft, the Detroit Pistons select...

Out of Nashville, Tennessee from the University of Memphis

James Wiseman

[Ben Wallace]

Red Auerbach

[Red Auerbach]

With the 3rd overall pick in the D720 2020 Rookie Draft, the Boston Celtics select...

Out of Atlanta, Georgia, from the University of Georgia

Anthony Edwards

Out of curiosity would you have picked Edwards at 1 had you kept it?

[Red Auerbach]

Yes.
Although, when Wiseman went to Golden State, I started leaning more toward him.
I think they’ll develop him better than Minnesota might develop Edwards.
