Draft combine/workouts

[Rastapopoulos]

Any news about any workouts or when/if there'll be a combine?

They should have a Draft Bubble. Hold the combine in a sealed location and have representatives from all the teams also quarantine there and hold all workouts and interviews at that location. It doesn't make sense to have players flying all over the place on visits.

It's complicated but it looks like there won't be any scrimmaging just drills and measurements. Also it seems to almost be over?

Edit: Oh just the interviews seem to be over.

NBA Eliminating Many Restrictions On In-Person Draft Evaluations
Oct 12, 2020 11:48 PM


The NBA is eliminating many restrictions on in-person evaluations and interviews ahead of the Nov. 18 draft.

From Oct. 16 to Nov. 16, teams may schedule 10 visits of up to 4½ hours with draft-eligible players for the purpose of in-person evaluations, interviews or medical evaluation, according to a memo sent to teams.

The NBA informed teams in April that organizations are prohibited from conducting in-person workouts or interviews with draft-eligible players.

Of major concern to teams will be competitive advantages that occur from the relaxing of pre-draft restrictions. Agents have long used the leverage of withholding medical information from teams to try to steer players to preferred draft destinations.
