It didn’t take Sherlock Holmes to solve our blind item from yesterday: ESPN went ahead and named him … and then mysteriously yanked his name out of subsequent updates.

[Our tipster, it should be noted, was slightly off: According to police, the mystery man locked himself in the bathroom, repeatedly flushed the toilet, and refused to open the door; we reported closet.]

Of course, we should point out that ESPN mentioned the No. 2 pick in the draft, Michael Beasley, was merely in the room, but not involved with the women or drugs. (Pregnant pause.) Was this simply a case of some old friends – they played some youth ball together, apparently – getting together to hang out, or were some of those pre-draft immaturity concerns about Beasley warranted?
