Further research indicates Solomon has a workout with the Memphis Grizzlies on June 2nd, just a few days before he returns to Florida for the NBA Pre-Draft camp in Orlando

(June 6-10).

Wouldn't that be great!! He and Chucky together ..... Chucky will still be there next year, hopefully. It would only force me to watch one NBA team and that's my limit.

[Brad]

The Chuckster is no longer under contract so it will be interesting to see where he winds up...

[RHBullsFan]

Chucky is a quality PG with a solid skill set and a good head for the game. I don't understand why he is bounced around so much.

[mattegunz]

Nice to see SOL making the rounds.  I sure hope he is drafted.

Looks like he just worked out for the Raptors too:

Jay Williams works out for Raptors

TORONTO (CP) - Three years after a motorcycle crash that forced Jay Williams to learn how to walk again, he believes he's finally ready to step back on the NBA court.

He says he wouldn't mind if it was as a Toronto Raptor.

Williams, the former No. 2 NBA draft pick out of Duke, is in Toronto working out for the Raptors, and likes what he sees in the young team and new GM Bryan Colangelo.

....

The Raptors also worked out Toronto native and University of Connecticut shooting guard Denham Brown on Thursday, along with Kentucky guard Rajon Rondo, Pittsburgh guard Carl Krauser, and Montreal's Mohamed Hachad, a guard out of Northwestern.

Scheduled to work out Friday are Richmond forward and Edmonton native Jermaine Bucknor, Duke guard Sean Dockery, South Florida forward Solomon Jones, and Syracuse guard Gerry McNamara.
