If a card's Attack defeats the Basilisk, can that same card's own draw still happen?

Posters reach this answer from the rule that a card resolves before its Attack is assigned, but the sources are few and no designer post addresses this case.

No. A played card resolves fully before its Attack is assigned, so the Basilisk is still in play when the card's draw is checked and the draw is lost, even though the Attack defeats it.
