The heralded Portsmouth Invitational begins today and the Michigan State Spartans will be represented by senior forward Kenny Goins.
The basketball tournament held in Portsmouth, Virginia is a long-running tournament that invites 64 senior college basketball players (eight teams consisting of eight players each) to compete against each other. The four-day, 12-game tournament will be well-attended by NBA scouts, front office executives and representatives. Talent evaluators from Europe will also be there. So, for many of these players — including Kenny G. — this is an audition to play professionally.
Goins will be part of the Portsmouth Sports Club team.
