Summer notebook: Soriano, Jones got ready for the season at Nike Pro City games

New Yorkers seeking a preview of what St. John’s Red Storm men’s basketball might look like next year did not have to travel far this summer - just a short ride on the 4 train from Grand Central Station to the Hostos Community College in the Bronx.

There, fans could watch watch rising senior center Joel Soriano and rising junior guard, David Jones honing their skills at Nike Pro City - a professional league with a doubleheader at 6:00 pm every Monday and Wednesday through the earlier summer months.

The league featured some of the best local professional talent - Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, Lance Stephenson, and Tobias Harris are just a few of the marquee names that have made appearances in the past.
