With the official release of the NBA’s early-entry list, the pre-draft process—what’s become of it, due to the ongoing impact from the COVID-19 pandemic—opens up in earnest. Although the general expectation among NBA personnel has been that the draft itself will move back to August or September, teams have already begun to schedule interviews via Zoom and FaceTime and sifting heavily through players’ film, preparing their boards as if the draft will be June 25 (as originally scheduled). Interviews between teams and prospects (the extent of allowable contact at this stage) can officially begin now that the early-entry list has been officially released.
