Chris Smith and the 2020 NBA Draft: Will he or won’t he?

Almost everywhere you look, coronavirus’ imprint has been left on the world. And that goes the same along every storyline in sports as we become more and more immersed in our new quarantined lives.

Junior guard Chris Smith would have had two postseason tournaments to show his ability, maturation and skill on the hard court to the national media had the Pac-12 Championships and the 2020 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament not been cancelled. Those performances would have been more important than ever, had they been able to happen as it seems we’re most likely headed towards the cancellation of in-person workouts during draft time as well as the postponement or ending of the NBA Draft combine as well.
