Why this year’s NBA draft process is shrouded in more secrecy than ever before

There is always a certain amount of secrecy within the NBA when the draft starts drawing near. But, in the year 2020, everything has been flipped upside down, twisted and changed in some way or another.

While team plans are usually masked by the hullabaloo leading up to the draft, there is no such mask this offseason. So the cloak of secrecy is even heavier.

Every year, as NBA teams prepare for the draft, they bring in droves of players to work out at team facilities. They evaluate their movements, their shot, look at tape, and run prospective players through multiple interviews with executives, coaches and team sports psychologists.
