When Rudy Gobert tested positive for Covid-19 and the entire sports world shut down because of it (RIP, 2020 NCAA Tournament), no one could have imagined the long-term ramifications it would have on sports. And that’s especially true with the NBA Draft. The draft itself got pushed back to October, with the deadline to withdraw pushed back until August. It created chaos in college basketball, as coaches spent all offseason trying to adjust and reconfigure their rosters.
That chaos however, is finally over. Close to 150 days after the college basketball season actually ended, today, Monday, August 3rd is the NBA Draft deadline.
