The end of the Kentucky basketball season always brings NBA draft decisions but things could be different for the Wildcats this spring.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, will the NBA even hold individual workouts and the NBA Draft Combine? With so many major sporting events being canceled or postponed until late summer or fall, I have a hard time seeing the NBA draft entry process not changing.
In fact, according to Adrian Wojnarowski and Jonathan Givony, players might not be able to workout for teams or attend the combine which would result in players being evaluated via game film from the season.
For players who are considered borderline draft picks, it would be a huge risk entering the draft without being evaluated in person.
Players may have to make decisions on entering 2020 NBA Draft with reality that there could be no opportunity to audition for teams individually, or attend a combine. The unknown certainly extends to college underclassmen. https://t.co/yQ3b3q3Vof

In the memo, VanDeWeghe addressed the "rapidly evolving coronavirus situation,"indicating that information will be provided at a future date "regarding changes, if any, to the NBA’s pre-Draft process, whenever such information is available." https://t.co/qEV3BalqyD
