The NBA season is already halfway through, which means it is time to take a fourth look at how the 2020 NBA Mock Draft shake sout.

The 2020 NBA Draft class appears to be much deeper than the 2019 class was, which makes the later picks much more exciting than they were a year ago. With a plethora of international players, stellar freshman, surprising upperclassmen, and big time players moving away from the NCAA, this draft could shape up to be a game-changing event. How will all this impact this edition of the 2020 NBA Mock Draft?

The 2019 calendar year was not phenomenal for the Chicago Bulls by any means, as the team finds themselves picking in the top-ten once again in spite of playoff hopes. The Bulls are not out of the playoff race by any means, but their rocky start is all too familiar for Chicago fans of late. If the team wants to finally break out of picking in the lottery, they will need to pick up the pace considerably.

In this mock, however, the Bulls are slated to pick at eighth overall and 45th overall, with the latter coming to Chicago compliments of the Memphis Grizzlies, who are currently surpassing all expectations and in a playoff spot out West. The Bulls already seem to have a solid young core, but they will have the chance to add to it here with another top-ten pick.

This mock draft will go through picks one through forty five and provide each player’s statistics to this point in their respective season and a brief synopsis of their scouting report and why they would be a good selection for the given team.

The draft order is based on the current NBA standings and all picks are assumed to kept by their respective teams if the selection has not already been traded.
