Summary
Wednesday night is the 2020 NBA Draft. It's never happened in November and never been so close (only ONE WEEK) up against the start of the college basketball season. If you're looking to get a sense of who will be picked -- or who SHOULD be picked -- in the first round, Gary Parrish and Matt Norlander mock out the lottery and the rest of the top 30 picks on this episode. They also give insight to the names rising and falling, and include a few more players just outside the first round of this mock who probably work their way into the top 30 on Wednesday evening.

| 0:00.0 | Hey there, it's Gary Parrish. It's Sunday, November 15, 2020. Welcome back to the CBS Sports |
| 0:09.0 | Eye on College basketball podcast where we sometimes discuss camel fighting and leaky |
| 0:14.5 | black mat. Norlanda is here with me and today we're going to in advance of Wednesday's NBA |
| 0:19.3 | draft conduct a mock draft here on the pile. We're going to go through the first 30 picks |
| 0:23.4 | alternating picks. Now, I've already done one with CalBoom still trying to schedule one |
| 0:27.9 | with CalBoom today. I'm a knock one out with dead lead norlanda, which should be fun because |
| 0:32.2 | our pick boards are actually very, very different. Now, I do want to be clear. This is not necessarily |
| 0:37.8 | designed to predict what franchises we'll do. These picks will represent what we would do |
| 0:45.1 | if we were in charge. Is that a proper description of what we're doing here, dead leg? |
| 0:50.2 | Yeah, by the way, it's it's November. The dead leg stuff is like that's the wig on. You stop trying |
| 0:54.9 | to make that happen. All right. It was basically a year ago where you had you had it was actually |
| 1:02.3 | it was it was just about a year ago. We are coming up in the one year anniversary. I thought the |
| 1:06.5 | end of 2019 was brutal. Who could have even thought what 2020 was about to bring? That is |
| 1:11.1 | accurate. My picks are going to project where I would take these players. If I were these teams |
| 1:17.4 | in these spots and it should be noted that we are going to have a just rash of trades. I think |
| 1:24.8 | in the 24 hours leading up to the draft and then on draft night. So we are going to have the teams |
| 1:28.6 | as they're projected right now. If you're listening to this podcast literally the morning of the |
| 1:33.2 | draft is way of getting hyped for the draft be prepared because a lot of the teams we have in |
| 1:36.9 | these spots will be absolutely trading out of those and that includes the possibility from Minnesota |
| 1:42.4 | at number one. We're going to keep them at number one here. They might wind up being number one, |
| 1:46.0 | but I've been told by a few sources that they are they're all too happy to trade out of that spot. |
| 1:50.0 | If they can, it remains to be seen if they'll be able to. All right, Norlanda, you're picking first |
