Per ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, the NBA is planning for an October 15 draft.
Obviously, this is of interest to Villanova fans because of Saddiq Bey, and getting a date for the draft is a step forward in establishing a timeline for when we may get a decision from Bey. We're still waiting for details on a potential NBA Combine and, most importantly, a deadline for underclassmen to remove their name from the draft. If the NBA tries to keep a similar timeline to what it uses normally, that would put the deadline to withdraw from the draft sometime in mid-September.
News also just broke that the league has approved the resumption of play proposal, so it's fair to assume with that big piece of work done, the league will now work on hammering out other details such as the combine. We will update with further details as they become available, but for now we are one step closer to understanding how the offseason stuff will play out in the NBA and players, like Bey, who are still working through the decision now have another piece of information to work with.
