Shortly after Barry Brown finished a workout with the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday, Kansas State basketball coach Bruce Weber called to see how things went.
A giddy Brown responded with a story about meeting Magic Johnson.
"That is a pretty important guy," Weber said Tuesday at a Catbackers event in Wichita. "He took some time to talk with Barry, and any advice or feedback coming from him is great."
That experience highlighted a busy few months for Brown. Ever since he declared for the NBA Draft as an early entrant he has been talking with scouts from various teams and testing the professional waters.
