Franchises are now preparing to make selections for this year’s NBA Draft without conducting workouts, in-person meetings, or watching prospects at the combine.
According to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports, NBA teams are operating under the assumption that picks will need to be made this year based entirely on prospects’ body of work during the college basketball regular season.
In fact, the only way they’ll be able to pick up new, updated information on prospects is via Skype conversations.
“Several NBA teams are preparing to make their selections for the 2020 NBA Draft based on Skype interviews and prior in-person scouting,” Rothstein wrote.
