NBA agent Erik Kabe on how COVID-19 may affect the 2020 NBA draft: “I think it will have a major effect on it. Every year, there are a couple guys who work their way up draft boards – either they have an impressive Combine showing, or they crush a workout with a certain team and get called back for a second workout and they crush that too and then they get drafted in the first round. That happens every year. On the flip side, there are always guys who don’t perform well during pre-draft and then they fall in the draft. It’s hard to see that happening if there’s no Combine and no in-person workouts.”

NBA agent Erik Kabe on how COVID-19 may affect the 2020 NBA draft: “How are teams currently making their draft boards? All of these teams send scouts to different college games and tournaments to watch these players, so I guess [their draft board] is based on scouting reports and film and then the interviews. It’s going to be the most important interview of each guys’ life because it could have a huge impact on their draft status. I think the NBA is still trying to figure everything out, but it’s definitely going to be a very unique process (and hopefully something we never have to deal with again). It’s up in the air how teams are going to deal with it, how they’re going to evaluate guys, how agents are going to market guys. It’s definitely going to be interesting.”
