Hoop dreams were alive at the Pistons Performance Center Saturday as the Motor City Cruise hosted their annual open tryout. Players with all sorts of basketball backgrounds laced up to compete for a handful of training camp spots available.
All participants paid a $250 tryout fee, which some forked over themselves and others had covered by their agents. The day was split up into two 90-minute sessions that began with NBA-level drills and led into continuous live scrimmages.
The first session was mixed between players with high school playing experience and those who had college or professional résumés.
