Look at what he did last year on Team USA. He was arguably one of their best players.
Surround him with high level talent and he looks like a top player.
We had no talent around him this year.
Does the Coronavirus make Haliburton stay?

No predraft events helps Halliburton.
IMO the bigger deal is overseas players will be less likely to enter the draft as travel will be hindered.

Yep. And who would really want Nixon to come back anyways? He is a turnover machine and a horrible shooter. Jacobson, I dunno about. He was good at times but missed a ton of easy shots this year.
It's 'our' government. One thing I've learned in life is they do some incredibly stupid stuff. Especially when moral is low and public visibility is high (ie now). Case in point: Florida State was just deemed national champion in basketball this year by their state senate. C'mon, with what's going on they have time for this crap? Maybe they should focus on their sink holes.
Because his skills project perfectly for playing WITH talented players.
Based on what we return next year he would be a fool to come back. It’s not like he’s returning to a team with National Championship hopes...we’ll be hopeful to be a bubble team. We should be very happy for one of own to go on a be a lottery pick and make life changing money.
Oh I am happy for him. But that wasn't what I asked. I asked if the coronavirus is going to shake up the draft enough that he potentially stays?
Not sure if Haliburton was even going to participate in any of the pre draft camps or combine due to his injury so not sure the canceling of the travel really would effect Tyrese's stock either way. I actually think it solidifies him as a top 10 pick, he has almost 2 full years of evaluations which would tip evaluations his way over a combine phenom who played overseas.
Also if his injury and the canceling of the NCAA post season shows anything plans can be changed in a second, He has the opportunity to set his family up for life right now. There are no guarantees that happens next year.
Imagine the nightmare scenario where other schools get to bring back their seniors and we have to waste another scholarship year on Nixon.
In this scenario, I would assume the NCAA grants these schools waivers on scholarship limits for the players affected so it wouldn't be a question of wasting it.
Probably doesn't matter, if I'm understanding correctly the momentum seems to be toward giving spring sport athletes their year of eligibility back, not winter athletes.
I don’t see any way seniors come back. What if a team has 6 good seniors that all come back and they have 6 incoming freshmen. How is that fair that they get 6 extra scholarships versus a team that maybe didn’t have any seniors?
No go make your money, and no to seniors getting granted another year, that doesn’t help/ isn’t fair for the up and incoming freshmen.
From yesterday's story in the USA Today:
The NCAA has decided to address rule changes that would provide avenues for Division I student-athletes in spring sports to regain lost eligibility and is considering the possibility of enacting similar waivers for athletes in winter sports whose seasons were recently cut short.
...
Extending similar scholarship relief to those participating in winter sports, namely men's and women's basketball, will be discussed for student-athletes "who were unable to participate in conference or NCAA champions," the letter continued.
Now that seems like a pretty unfair way to handle it to me. A school like ISU who got its final game in just before the deadline would not have extra eligibility for seniors, but a school like Kansas State whose season would have ended just a few hours later would get eligibility back because their game got canceled just prior to it being played. Even if they limited the extra eligibility to NCAA-qualifying teams, that's still potentially a huge advantage for a number of schools next season that others don't get. Hopefully they offer it for everyone or no one at all.
