If the NBA pushes the draft back to August or September, will players tend to stay in college at least for the summer?

Nobody knows if players will be back on campus this summer or if there will be classes, but, delaying the draft should delay the deadline for declaring ...

Great. So DBR can obsess over a few teenagers' decisions for a few more months than usual.

I would have to think that the NBA will still maintain a deadline by which players have to decide if they're in or not, even if that date is way before when the draft takes place. Setting this date has historically been one of the few areas (perhaps the only one) where the NBA and NCAA do seem to work together. I don't see a scenario where players hang around on college campuses for the summer just to get extra practice or workouts in and then leave for the draft that same summer.
