Lamont McKinnie had a draft day party at his family’s house with his friends, Arizona teammates, and family members. He sat nervously, waiting for his name to be called. The people around him were joking around and talking but he was sitting quietly. Heading into the 6th round, he was starting to get antsy, but at 8:49 PM his phone rang with a number he didn’t recognize. He shushed everyone and answered the call.
“Hello this is Chet Tannen, I’m one of the GMs of the Palm Beach Solar Bears, we think you’ll be a great fit in our scheme, we’re seeing about trading up and grabbing you at 35, so sit tight for now and we’ll get you in a couple picks” Lamont could barely speak he was so excited but he managed to answer the man with, “That would be amazing, thank you so much for this opportunity” Tannen hung up and McKinnie put the phone down. The room exploded with celebration. His mom hugged him, crying, his teammates were congratulating him, and he had a big smile on his face. After the festivities, he sat outside with his girlfriend for a while just taking it all in. He says it was the best night of his life.
