LAFAYETTE — Hopefully Shawn Long signed up for frequent flyer miles.
The former Louisiana-Lafayette big man conducted private workouts with half of the NBA’s 30 franchises, many of which were backloaded into the final few weeks before Thursday’s NBA draft.
Just last week, he visited four teams in a grueling cross-country stretch.
“I had three in a row,” Long said. “I was training in New Orleans and then I had to go to New York. Then I came back to New Orleans the next day to work out for the Pelicans. Then from New Orleans I went to OKC (Oklahoma City).
