NBA labor strife benefits NCAA game--Fox Sports
While Sullinger and Jones both maintain that a potential NBA work stoppage didn’t play an integral role in their decision, it is a factor.
“It is — especially for me,” said Butler junior guard Shelvin Mack, who announced Tuesday he was declaring for the draft but wouldn't sign with an agent. “I’m like a late first-rounder or a second-rounder, and if I stay in and go in the second round, it’ll be tough because there probably won’t be workouts for me to make the team.”
Mack is admittedly confused but has heard from numerous people there will, in fact, be a work stoppage of some kind. He, like most of these kids, is completely in the dark about how long it will last.

It sucks that you're not in the playoffs; that's what you ultimately want to do," Jazz rookie Gordon Hayward said after Monday's 90-78 win at New Orleans. "But I think we can try to just treat the games as a learning experience, try to get better from them as a player and build for the future."
Sounds like the 21-year-old has been listening to his coach, who has been extolling the need for playing smart, hard and together despite the circumstances.
...
Though disappointed his team's plans went awry, Jefferson admitted he's optimistic about the Jazz's future. He loves Corbin. He gets along with teammates. And he believes good things will happen with Utah's blend of veteran experience, including himself, Paul Millsap and Devin Harris along with promising young talent in Hayward and Derrick Favors.
...
"Anytime you go on the floor, you want to pick up a victory — especially because it's the last one, playing in front of your home crowd," Hayward added. "You don't want to let them down, so it'll be important."

Remove the late-season development of rookies Gordon Hayward, Derrick Favors and Jeremy Evans, and the mid-career progression of Paul Millsap, and the Jazz’s season has been a mess bordering upon failure.
