Top 10 Rearrangements of the 20th Draft: All-Star Ball is only ranked fourth, and No. 1 pick Edwards deserves it

Before the 2020 draft officially began, the outside world was generally not optimistic about the overall quality of this session, but now five years have passed, and many of the rookies have successfully "slapped" the media in the face. Then we will make a reorder of the top ten picks for the 2020 rookies. Let's take a look at which players are on the list. Only Edwards's pick in the first three picks did not decline!

10.Prichard (formerly No. 26 pick in the first round)

Average of 9.1 points, 2.7 rebounds and 2.5 assists in his career

Only 1.85 meters tall and not very dynamic talent, the 22-year-old was enough to prove that he did not have many potential stocks in this class. Fortunately, after entering the league, Prichard made good use of his advantages. He has trained his shooting to the extreme of his ability. This season, he averaged 3.2 three-pointers with a shooting rate of 40.7%, so his average data has also increased to 14.3 points, 3.8 rebounds and 3.5 assists. In the playoffs, Prichard will still be a very important space point in the Celtics, but in addition to three-pointers, he also needs to do better in defense and other aspects. Only in this way can the negative impact of Holiday's decline on the team be minimized as much as possible.

9. Wassel (formerly No. 11 pick in the first round)

Average of 14.1 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.1 steals in his career. After Wassel entered the league, he proved that he was a qualified scorer. He often scored high scores based on his own shooting. However, on the one hand, Vassel is still not very stable, and his pass and control ability is average, so his upper limit cannot meet the requirements of the team's core outside. Now the Spurs have Fox and Castle again, so it is unknown whether Vassel can continue to stay with the Spurs, but considering that he only signed a five-year, 146 million contract with the team last year, the team may want to train him again.

8.Quickley (formerly No. 25 pick in the first round)

Average of 14 points, 3.4 rebounds, 3.7 assists in his career,

At the beginning of his career, Quickley was obviously not very adapted to the NBA confrontation. At that time, his shooting percentage at the basket was not even 50%. Fortunately, as he spent more and more time in the league and his muscle building played a role, he is now more at ease in the game. This season, Quickley averaged 17.1 points, 3.5 rebounds and 5.8 assists per game in the Raptors. His shooting and speed will cause considerable trouble to his opponents, but confrontation and ending are still his shortcomings. Therefore, he still needs to prove whether he can still play such a productive effect in a truly strong team.

7. Avdia (formerly No. 9 pick in the first round)

Average of 11.3 points, 6.2 rebounds and 2.8 assists in his career. As one of the most comprehensive forward players among the 20th rookies, Avdia is 2.06 meters tall, but he has rich ball-holding skills on the court. After joining the Trail Blazers this season, Avdia also shines. He averaged 16.9 points, 7.3 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1 steal per game, and at the same time he has performed well on the defensive end. Considering the current situation of the Trail Blazers, it is not ruled out that they will put Avdia on the trading shelves later, but because his current contract is too cost-effective, if those teams who want to trade Avdia are unwilling to make the first round, the Trail Blazers obviously will not agree.

6. McDaniels (formerly No. 28 pick in the first round)

Average of 10.3 points, 4.2 rebounds and 1.5 assists in his career, although McDaniels is not very talented enough in offensive talent, he has become the best defender among the 20th rookies. He is tall and has long arms and can also switch to multiple positions on the court. In addition, McDaniels has made progress over the years on the offensive end. His average of 12.2 points and 2 assists per game this season has set career highs, but his shooting is indeed unreliable, with only 33% shooting percentage in the regular season. However, since defending McDaniels is usually the opponent's weak defensive ring, he still exploded in the playoffs this year. With his size advantage, he shot nearly 70% in the penalty area and averaged 16.5 points and 6 rebounds per game. Maintaining this performance, the Timberwolves are still expected to return to the Western Conference Finals.

5. Bain (formerly No. 30 pick in the first round)

Average of 17.8 points, 4.6 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1 steal in his career

At the beginning, the outside world did not pay much attention to Bain. His average score per game in the first two seasons of his career has not been able to double-digit scores, but the Grizzlies are still optimistic about Bain. The team behind him gave him full space to play, and Morant himself was making trouble, so Bain also got more opportunities. Bain has grown into a quasi-All-star player, but his talent has the highest limit of at most is the second in command of the playoff team. However, the Grizzlies now have to bear higher expectations due to Morant's decline and Jaren Jackson Jr.'s delay in carrying the team. Bain has to bear higher expectations, but unfortunately the fact is that he does not have that ability.

4. Ball (formerly No. 3 pick in the first round)

Average of 21 points, 6 rebounds, 7.4 assists and 1.5 steals in his career

Ball was the first to be selected as the All-Star among the 20th rookies. In the second year of his career, he completely entered the fans' vision with his average of 20.1 points, 6.7 rebounds, 7.6 assists and 1.6 steals. Ball has been improving afterwards, but because he is too fragile and the Hornets' poor record, there are many voices questioning him in the outside world. Now, it is not unreasonable to question Ball's voice. Many players who are as optimistic as him in the same class have proved themselves. Only he has never stood on the stage of the playoffs, and if he just can't stay healthy, then how strong his strength is is not that important.

3. Maxi (formerly No. 21 pick in the first round)

Average of 19.5 points, 3 rebounds, 4.4 assists in his career, Maxi averaged only 8 points per game in the rookie season. At that time, he could not see that he had the potential to become an All-Star. As a result, he played better and better later, and he also proved his strength in the playoffs many times. However, Maxi cannot take on the team as a leader now. When Embiid and George were injured this season, he took on more important tasks. The result is that his own efficiency has declined significantly, and his physical fitness cannot withstand it. He was injured immediately afterwards. However, judging from Maxi's current strength, he is at least worthy of the five-year 2.04 billion contract he signed, but how far the 76ers can go in the future depends on Embiid's status.

2. Halliburton (formerly No. 12 pick in the first round)

Average of 17.5 points, 3.7 rebounds, 8.9 assists and 1.5 steals in his career

Since he was traded to the Pacers that year, Halliburton has quickly risen, and he has quickly become one of the best point guards in active service. He has also averaged 20+10 per game in the past two seasons. Under Halliburton's leadership, the Pacers' competitiveness has been greatly improved. They are expected to return to the stage of the division finals this year's playoffs, but if they want to win the championship, Halliburton's own stability needs to further evolve.

1. Edwards (formerly No. 1 pick in the first round)

Average of 23.9 points, 5.3 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 1.3 steals in his career, Edwards is undoubtedly the best player in the 20th class. In recent years, he has been selected into the All-Star and the Best Team. Under his leadership, the Timberwolves have also made it to the playoffs for four consecutive years, and also reached the division finals in 2024. Judging from Edwards' current situation, he is also a recognized future league appearance. Even if he can reach the finals this year, his position in the league can be further improved.
