There's no time. Game 7 of the Finals is scheduled for four days before the Draft. Trying to fit an awards ceremony in between those two would be virtually impossible. If they waited until early July to hold the awards, they'd have problems with people being scattered all around and distracting from free-agency and other off-season stuff.
