yet to be determined. If they play next year under the old system (which a lot of people are speculating) then yes they will have to base the draftees pay scale on that.
If there is a new CBA in place when they return, this will be addressed as it is a major talking point in the whole mess.
So in summation...the players drafted next week will still be have their rights belong to the team that drafted them, but as far as compenstaion goes, it wont be known till the two sides agree to return to playing.
