The Nets and Knicks worked out Michael Jordan's kid yesterday.

No, not 'the' Michael Jordan. But Jared Jordan of Marist - his dad's name is Michael - once needed that sort of stunt to get attention. Now, NBA types know who he is after he twice led the nation in assists.

"He is a flat out good passer, he's got a great basketball IQ," said Net GM Ed Stefanski after another day of joint draft workouts with the Knicks. "He will have no problem on the offensive end, assist-wise. Will he be able to guard on the other end?...(I think) he's going to get selected in the second round. If he's not, when the night is over his agent is going to get numerous calls saying, 'Hey, we'd love to have him' (and) they'll sign him for the summer league."
