per Marcus:
Carr, like many others leaving the door open to return to school, can’t work out for teams in the near future. But if he waits, and the NBA cancels the rest of this season, the workout opportunities completely evaporate. That’s why NBA folk are studying tape of Carr and other early entrants right now to see if they are worthy of consideration on draft night, whenever that might be. Reports are saying August or even September, which would be vastly different from last year.
Coffey declared for the draft last year in early April, and workouts already were starting for teams the following week. There was the Portsmouth Invitational, the NBA combine, the NBA G League combine all in April and May. By June, it was time to get through the NBA Finals and the NBA draft a couple weeks later.
Now all players — from potential lottery picks to those such as Carr hoping mainly to get on the NBA’s radar — are in limbo with the coronavirus pandemic.
Meanwhile, Gophers faithful and fans of college hoops teams across the country are wondering if their top players are doing the right thing by declaring in this time of uncertainty.
