A quickie

CLEARWATER — The game is on a 43-minute post game delay from the Cincinnati/Rutgers 13-7 marathon, so here’s a quick side note that’s non-baseball related. Checking out CNNSI.com’s mock NBA Draft following Toronto winning the lottery last night, and the experts have Solomon Jones being picked up 50th overall by the Orlando Magic.

So I ran this by men’s basketball SID Scott Kuykendall, who informs me that Jones has 14 scheduled workouts with NBA teams before the Pre Draft camp at the Disney Wide World of Sports Complex next month.

Should be interesting in the coming weeks how Jones performs, but imagine if he could continue to play basketball in the state of Florida? My guess is he would have no problem with that.
