Portsmouth Invitational 2017: Mid-major roster list

As we near the NBA Draft, the annual Portsmouth Invitational Tournament kicks off with 64 college seniors looking to improve their stock in front of pro scouts. One of two pre-draft camps, the PIT has traditionally given off-the-radar players an opportunity to showcase their skills against similar talent. Notable tournament alumni who used the event as a springboard include Kent Bazemore (Old Dominion), Robert Covington (Tennessee State), and JJ Barea (Northeastern).
