SI: Sol Jones to Magic

[SMHUSF]

After sitting and watching Chucky not go for two rounds I won't believe anything until I see it.

SI is one of the worse mags for predictions.

I sat through that depressing draft too.  Hopefully, Sol does get picked up - Orlando would be great especially he he can follow Chucky's footsteps and end up with a 24 million dollar deal...

It was pretty bad. I was an athletic trainer at the time and knew Chucky pretty well. I remember him coming in to workout in the tiny weight room we had at the time, discussing where he thought he, AI and a couple of other players might go. I think it was SI that had him going like 25th in the first round to Seattle.

How can you dare mention Chucky and AI in the same breath?

For what it's worth I do know a local beat writer for the Magic (not w/ the Sentinel) and he told me (and I believe I posted it a while back) that the Magic want Jones in the 2nd round. They really like him.

If So-Jo gets drafted, he should be considered as one of USF's best centers.

Good luck, man!

If someone asked you in the beginning of the year: who has a better chance to get drafted in the respective sport: Andre Hall or Solomon Jones, who honestly would have voted for Solomon?

Many of the draft sites around the 'Net have Jones being drafted in the second round. If he has a good showing in Orlando, some publications are saying he could go in the late first round.

Chucky was saying that he didn't think Philly would take AI b/c there wasn't enough balls to go around. They also played together on Team USA.

I hope Sol Jones goes. I have a friend who is an AAU coach and constanly dogs USF. When we signed Jones, he told me that we should be embarassed for recruiting such a sub-par player.
