The 2020 NBA Draft coverage begins tonight at 7 p.m. ET / 4 p.m. PT. The first round starts at 8 p.m. ET. It’s airing on ESPN in the US, Sky Sports Main Event in the UK and TSN in Canada.
The 2020 NBA Draft live stream is underway and it's going to give us our first glimpse of the upcoming NBA season, revealing where the latest batch of young aspiring athletes wind up (at least before they find ways to get traded for mega bucks). And our first Woj bomb of the day revealed that ESPN sources claim that the Knicks are getting the Jazz's No. 23 pick, for its 27th and 38th picks.
The latest reports suggest the Knicks are eyeing forward Obi Toppin and point guard Tyrell Terry, for its top picks. After that, we learned that the 76ers are going to trade Al Horford and draft picks to the Thunder.

Yes, now that we're in the shadow of the bubble season, it's time for a remote draft, where NBA Commissioner Adam Silver and Deputy Commissioner Mark Tatum announce selections live from ESPN's Bristol, CT studios.
Top prospects include LaMelo Ball, James Wiseman, Onyeka Okongwu and Anthony Edwards. Ball, who is from Australia, is projected by ESPN to go at No. 1 to the Minnesota Timberwolves. Okongwu from USC is expected to be taken by the Charlotte Hornets.
James Wiseman (center) from Memphis may go to the Golden State Warriors to protect the rim and finish alley-oops. Edwards (Georgia) is a 6-foot, 5-inch shooting guard who's expected to be taken by the Bulls at 4.
Analyst Stephen A. Smith says he would take Anthony Edwards out of Georgia as the No. 1 pick. Smith likens him to Dwyane Wade and calls him "lethal" in the open court. Update: Anthony Edwards has been taken as the No.1 pick for the Timberwolves.
Here's everything you need to watch tonight's 2020 NBA Draft live stream.
