A bizarre draft connection

Speaking of baseball and NBA drafts, I got Rashad McCants' mom, Brenda Muckelvene, on the phone a few minutes ago while she was on her way to a "draft party." I said, "That's a little premature, isn't it?" She said it was for her nephew, Cameron Maybin (Rashad's cousin). He was taken 10th overall in the major-league draft by the Detroit Tigers. He's an outfielder for T.C. Roberson High. Rashad isn't likely to go that early in the NBA Draft on June 28.

"We'll be excited if he's just there," his mom insisted.
