2018 NBA Draft: Portsmouth Invitational Tournament players to know

The 2018 Portsmouth Invitational Tournament (PIT) just wrapped up last weekend.

The PIT is an annual event where 64 NCAA basketball graduating seniors play tournament-style games to hopefully impress NBA powers-that-be into drafting them in the second round of the NBA Draft (or if anything, receiving a summer league invite). This tournament is precisely a spot for teams to find under-the-radar talent, as only occasionally does a Portsmouth participant go on to be selected in the first round (in the 2017 draft there was only one: Derrick White, Spurs).
