After months of try-outs, interviews, and scouting, the NBA 2K League’s 23 teams filled their rosters at the 2020 NBA 2K League Draft Saturday night in New York City. The four-round draft featured 68 selections from a pool of 229 players.

Shortly after T-Wolves Gaming won the 2019 NBA 2K League Championship in August, teams began prepping for this night. Organizations made roster decisions in the forms of player retentions and trades to prepare for the draft. The draft also gave expansion organizations Gen.G Tigers and Hornets Venom GT the first full rosters of their inaugural seasons.

Out of the 229 draft-eligible players in the player pool, 147 were new players who earned their position through the NBA 2K League Combine. A total of 32 players were eligible through special invites from team and international tournaments. Players who were not retained last season made up the final 50 spots.

The 2020 NBA 2K League Draft order was determined through a draft lottery back in October.

NBA 2K League Draft highlights

The night kicked off with Wizards District Gaming on the clock and selecting the first draft pick of 2020. Washington chose Jack “JBM” Mascone as its top selection. Mascone was a community favorite to go first overall in many mock drafts. He earned his spot in the draft as one of the pro-am tournament winners.

Gen.G chose Dhwan “ShiftyKaii” White as its first draft pick in franchise history with the fifth overall spot. Hornets Venom GT followed with the next pick by selecting Alexander “Expose” Whelan.

One upset of the night was Jamie “DirK” Diaz Ruiz, fan favorite and former NBA 2K League commentator, not being selected during the draft. He had his dream and transition into pro play fall short at the end of the night.
