NBA and NCAA agree to ‘indefinitely’ postpone early entry deadline

Both the NBA and the NCAA have agreed to indefinitely extend the draft’s early entry deadline for 2020, according to Shams Charania.

Over the past 48 hours, there have been more signals popping up throughout the NBA landscape that the league is intent on making a return to play and eventually crowning a 2020 NBA Champion. Late on Wednesday, there was another one that indicates the league will take however long they need to finish the 2019-20 season.

Shams Charania of The Athletic reported that the NBA and the NCAA have agreed to extend the early entry deadline for candidates beyond the original June 3 date indefinitely. This is an indication that the league will also be delaying the draft beyond its June 26.

This obviously is also something that helps college programs as well, allowing them to see who stays and who goes before the next college season.

As for the NBA, teams have done their homework when it comes to scouting, but they will not get to have individual workouts in which they can put players through specific drills they want to see and also have an opportunity to interview them.
