The NBA award ceremony ended, and the 2019–2020 season officially came to a close. The new season quietly began as well.
First up was the draft at the end of June.
Compared to last year, this year's draft was a little less star-studded, but it still had no shortage of highly regarded prospects.
James Wiseman, Memphis University's star player, was a 2.13-meter big center, the former number one high school player in the nation, and a disciple of "Penny" Hardaway.

There were three players in this class projected to become the Top Draft Pick, and the first two had already made names for themselves in high school.
Wiseman, for example, had won Gatorade Player of the Year, the Jordan Brand Classic MVP, and the Morgan Wootten Player of the Year award. His name had already become known throughout the country in high school.
