More restrictions on in-person prospect visits will make this draft tricky for Suns

The league just announced that the NBA Draft Combine this year will allow much less in-person evaluation. There will be more technology to generate player profiles for teams to share. Combine invitations have gone out to the top 85 prospects as determined by team votes. However, things will be quite a bit different, and restrictive, due to the pandemic.

From September 28 through October 16, the Suns and the rest of the league will be able to interview prospects via video. Yes, video. Players will still report for in-person medical testing, measurements, strength and agility testing, and shooting drills but it will be at the NBA facility closest to them and said hosting team won’t be able to watch or communicate with said players.
