Originally posted by SteveWallacesHelmet:I dont see that happening . I think they would play some sort of shortened regular season and then the playoffs. They can go at least a couple of extra months into the summer time to complete the season if need be. It really is impossible to know though

No, they're suspending and completing at a later date.
They are suspending and hopefully completing at a later date. At this point nothing is a given.
I think they're going to cancel the regular season and just go right into the playoffs.
To me, that would be incredibly unfair. But these are unprecedented times, so I suppose everything is on the table.

If a season can be strike shortened, a season can be cut short to do a environmental contagion/disaster scenario. So that seems to be the most likely. Short season with playoffs still happening.

I doubt we'll see any basketball the rest of this year.

They're talking about a mid-late June return.

I wonder if they will move the draft.
I would think this year especially they are going to want to take a close look and really work these prospects out.
Guys like Wiseman and Ball didn't get much playing time to evaluate.
Having a top pick we can not afford to blow this pick.

Isn't it in NY? I think they'll keep it there.

I think they're going to cancel the season and just move foward with the Draft. Just a gut feeling.

Played Point guard when he was young. So he got a good handle. He can play multiple position (play center on small ball line), decent jump shot with a nice touch and a willing passer. Young man can run and too fast for other bigs his size that's why he gets easy dunks. He will flourish in our system. I think he can contribute right away.

Yeah, he can play - not sure where he'll go in the draft?
