The senior is among 64 professional prospects invited to attend
FORT WORTH, Texas – Alex Robinson is among 64 professional men's basketball prospects that will play in the annual Portsmouth Invitational Tournament this week in Portsmouth, Va.
The players are divided into eight teams. Robinson will play for Cherry Bekaert, which will play Portsmouth Sports Club in its first game on Thursday at 6 p.m.
Robinson just completed one of the best careers ever at TCU. The Fort Worth native averaged 12.5 points last season and his 6.8 assists led the Big 12. Robinson finished his career first in assists, second in assists per game, fourth in steals and 19th in points. The point guard earned All-Big 12 honors by the league's coaches and Associated Press and was NABC Second Team All-District 8. Robinson, who graduated in 2018 with a degree in general studies, was named Academic All-Big 12 this past season.
Last season, TCU seniors Vladimir Brodziansky and Kenrich Williams played in the PIT. Both had really good first seasons at the professional level. Brodziansky played for Obradoiro CAB in Spain in the top European professional league and Williams was with the NBA's New Orleans Pelicans.
Each year for 67 years the P.I.T has invited 64 of the best college basketball players (seniors) from across the nation to participate in a four-day, twelve game tournament in front of representatives from every NBA team. The tournament drew the attention of NBA Scouts and General Managers in the 1970's when players like Rick Barry, Earl "The Pearl" Monroe, Dave Cowens, John Lucas and Bobby Cremins came to Portsmouth to play. Soon the word spread and approximately 200 Scouts, General Managers and Representatives of all 30 NBA teams began to come to see players like John Stockton, Dennis Rodman, Tim Hardaway, Scottie Pippen and others.
Today scouts from numerous international leagues have joined in on the annual April pilgrimage to Portsmouth. Over the years the P.I.T. has been a showcase for five of the 50 greatest players in NBA History (Rick Barry, Earl 'The Pearl" Monroe, Dave Cowens, John Stockton, Scottie Pippen) and for many others who have gone on to NBA stardom including 2015 NBA All-Star Jimmy Butler.
