Portsmouth Invitational Tournament Day 1 Standouts

As I wrote about earlier in the week, I'm in Portsmouth, VA, for the Portsmouth Invitational Tournament, an NBA Draft scouting event for senior college basketball players. Every NBA team sends scouts front office personnel as an early opportunity to find potentially undervalued prospects.

After two games on Wednesday, a few guys stood out to me as players I think it would be worthwhile for the Wizards to evaluate more closely. Several of the noteworthy names were Big East players.

Joel Soriano, a 6'11 center from St. John's, was the most physically imposing player in action and displayed surprisingly good mobility and touch.
