Declaring who won or lost draft night is a bit silly considering we have seen theseprospectsplay hold on, double-checking the math zero NBA games.

It would be much more reasonable to allow these youngsters to develop and Tyler Thornburg Jersey evaluate them based on a significant sample size. But come on, what's the fun in that?

Now that we know thefinal results of the 2020NBA Draft, it's time to declare a few early winners and losers.

NBA DRAFT:

NBA Draft 2020winnersSacramento Kings

It was a surprise to see Tyrese Haliburton slide outside the top 10, so Sacramento has to be ecstatic about this pick. Outside shooting, playmaking, basketball IQ the 6-5 guard is just solid in a lot of areas. He's not an exceptional athlete, but Haliburton is a winning player.

The Kings also found value in the second round, acquiring Texas Tech'sJahmi'us Ramsey and Mi si sippi State's Robert Woodard.

Daryl Morey

Philadelphia's president of basketball operations hit the ground running. The 76ers first sent Al Horford, the rights toVasilije Micicand draft picksto the Thunder in exchange for Rafael Devers Jersey Danny GreenandTerrance Ferguson. Then, theytradedJosh Richardsonand the No. 36 pick to the MavericksforSeth Curry. The Sixers also selected Kentucky guard Tyrese Maxey at No. 21.

Morey is quickly constructing a roster that works much better around Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons. It's all about maximizing Philly's talentmoving forward.

Morey on : "Joel and Ben are going to be here for a long time."

No walks acro s the stage, no handshakes with NBA commi sioner Adam Silver, no red-carpet walks. That had to be disappointing for players who have been looking forward to this day.

However, ESPN's broadcast went relatively smoothly and allowed the draftees to share special moments with their families. As the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic continues to rageacro s the United States, this was the best po sible version of the event. Let's hope we can get back to normal next year.

NBA Draft 2020 losersGolden State Warriors

This has nothing to do with how the Warriors approached the draft. It's about what happened before they were on the clock.

Golden Stateannounced Wednesday night that five-time All-Star Klay Thompsonsuffered a lower right leg injuryduring an offseason workout in Southern California. The severity of the injury is unclear, but the organization is clearly concerned.

Kerr mentioned just before the shutdown how hard the season had been Ted Williams Jersey on Klay -- how much Klay mi sed the game and how much his teammates enjoyed seeing Xander Bogaerts Jersey him again. As Warriors wait for tests on Klay's leg and hope for best, the level of shock and disbelief within org. is palpable

Thompson is set to undergo testing in the next few days. A serious injury would eliminate the Warriors from championship contention next season.

Fans of draft chaos

Anthony Edwards (Timberwolves), James Wiseman (Warriors)and LaMelo Ball (Hornets) went 1-2-3. Trades didn't impact the lottery. There were no new rumors about James Harden and Ru sell Westbrook.

This means free agency is going to be a total me s, David Ortiz Jersey huh?

College basketball powerhouses

If you want to hate on the blue bloods, here's your chance.

There were zero lottery picks from Duke, Kansas, Kentucky andNorth Carolinain this year's draft.

This is the first time Kansas, Kentucky, North Carolina or Duke did not have a player drafted in the lottery since 2000.Kentucky had a lottery pick in each of the previous 10 Drafts entering 2020, the longest streak by any school since the lottery began in 1985.
