Pushing back NBA draft is inevitable

This is inevitable.

With the NBA off schedule due to the coronavirus pandemic, teams are asking the league to push back the NBA Draft from its scheduled June 25 date to August 1 at least, ESPN and DraftExpress are reporting.

This comes a month after SNYtv reporter Ian Begley tweeted last month that Kentucky coach John Calipari told him the NBA combine and draft would be pushed back in wake of COVID-19.

The Phoenix Suns (26-39) would have a lottery pick if the NBA decides to skip the regular season and go straight to the playoffs.
