The first big step in the next NBA 2K League season is almost upon us. The 2020 NBA 2K League Draft is set for Saturday, Feb. 22 from Terminal 5 in New York City. A total of 229 players are eligible for 68 open spots on the six-person rosters of the 23 NBA 2K League teams for the 2020 season.
Wizards District Gaming holds the top pick, and will also select eighth and 15th in the second round (30th and 37th overall, respectively), and ninth in the third round (51st overall). The defending NBA 2K League champions, T-Wolves Gaming, will seek to fill their two vacancies with the 22nd and 68th overall selections, while expansion teams Hornets Venom GT and Gen.G Tigers will choose five players combined in the first round alone.
A little less than half of the league’s players will join from the draft, as 70 players from 2019 rosters return to the fray this season. Eleven teams sent two players apiece to the draft pool via Pro-Am tournaments in their local markets. This season’s draft pool includes three women and 24 international players from 10 different countries/regions — Australia, Austria, Canada, China, France, Germany, New Zealand, Puerto Rico, Spain and the United Kingdom.
