In what's likely to become one of the most wide open draft processes in years, prospective players would attend selected regional team facilities throughout the country, sources said. The plan would include team doctors administering physicals at local hospitals and league officials to recording body measurables and putting players through physical testing at team facilities, sources said.
The NBA still hasn't made a final determination on the location or format for the October 16 draft event, sources said.
The NBA's plan for a virtual draft combine at several regional sites is nearing final steps, with formal plans potentially to be completed in the next week, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.
Grant Riller that high on your list? I think he is going to make an NBA team and maybe become a solid pro but I haven't seen too many sites or people who think as highly of him as you. The 13th pick?!
Honestly though all it takes is one GM to love a player and just because it isn't a consensus he is a 1st round pick and especially not that high of a 1st rounder doesn't mean he can't be worthy of it.
For that reason, maybe we see some college players leaving school for foreign pro leagues if they find out NCAA basketball is canceled. Ramasar considers it a possibility. Of course, rosters could get crowded if the G League season never begins, either. Those guys will want somewhere to play, too. Players need to hoop, and top-flight ones could jump at an opportunity to play. If they don’t, another reality could kick in — and not just for would-be one-and-dones or upperclassmen missing a chunk of their collegiate careers. If they stagnate without basketball and they show up in 2021-22 not as prepared as they could be, even if it’s not their fault, teams may not be so patient.
