Report: Zeke Nnaji Drawing Interest from Teams in 'Late Teens and 20s' of Draft

Following an impressive freshman season at Arizona, Zeke Nnaji is reportedly attracting the attention of teams picking outside of the lottery in the 2020 NBA draft.  

Per The Ringer's Kevin O'Connor, Nnaji is "receiving interest from teams in the late teens and 20s."

There's a wide range of opinions about Nnaji's overall talent leading up to the draft.

O'Connor has him ranked as the No. 44 player on his most recent big board but projected the Wildcats star to go to the Denver Nuggets with the 22nd overall pick. 

B/R's Jonathan Wasserman likes Nnaji a little bit more, putting him as the No. 34 prospect in the 2020 class but acknowledged teams late in the first round have been high on him.

"Teams are considering Nnaji in the mid- to late first round, giving him positive reviews after his interviews and showing more faith in his jump shot," Wasserman wrote. "There isn't much versatility to his game, but his finishing, post play, touch and offensive rebounding appear translatable and capable of carrying him in a reserve role."

Nnaji was named to the All-Pac-12 first team and Pac-12 Freshman of the Year last season. He led the Wildcats in scoring with 16.1 points per game and rebounding with 8.6 per game. 

The 2020 NBA draft will be held on Wednesday, Nov. 18.
